Missed auto ball scoring errors

As a referee earlier this year, I can confirm absolutely this. I know one of FMS people spoke to me after an early match because I had forgotten to confirm the auto scoring. I believe they had already asked the scorekeeper to adjust accordingly as well. It's not the most obvious thing to pick up on when learning the scoring tablets, and I'd recommend any head refs go over it with their crew before the remaining events.

It's a feature of the scoring system. Instead of auton points ending when Auton period ends, it continues until the ref pushes Submit. (It has to be that way, so the ref can enter that ball that scores at 9.8 seconds.) But if the ref forgets to hit submit, it keeps scoring as if it was auto until Cycle 1 starts.
