And if it's still unclear:

A ball SCORED means a state in which it has accrued points for the alliance. Any argument that truss scores were not clearly instant is invalid. The definition of a CATCH however, does not show that it instantly accrues points.

I don't see how saying "the ball is scored over the truss" explicitly proves that the points are added the instant it is scored over the truss versus being added when the ball is scored in the goal. As it was written that very well could have been interpreted, and argued for either way (though I'm sure the refs would have clarified the intention of the rule). The bold text explicitly stating the intent of the rule that Carl pointed out was not in the previous manual. Open the manual, hit ctrl F and type "and as each objective is achieved", it's not there and the clarification was definitely welcome as the original rule was not entirely clear.
