Boulders are scored automatically, not by the refs. In order for a boulder to be scored, it HAS to end up in the corral. Unfortunately, this means that for a high goal, if it goes in one and out the other, it does not count. Additionally, occasionally a boulder would get stuck in the opening of the tower. Usually this would only be taken into account if it affects the outcome of the match - ie if the winning alliance had a stuck boulder, there's not much point in changing the score to reflect that.
