We would tally them as they flew into the goals and take the sheets to the scoring table right after the game ended. If there were any discrepancies between the scorers, we would take the discs out of the goals and count them. It was only really an issue when discs were flying into the goals very quickly (thanks, 469...).

As far as I know, we didn't get any complaints about inaccuracies. I don't know how accurate it was when compared to the results from the sensors, but it seemed like you could tell the outcome of a match as it ended unless the point totals were within 5 or 10 points.

For the record, we had 8 or 9 field reset volunteers, and it worked out well for us. Field reset was definitely more work this time than it has been for the past few years.
