It is true that your team's score depends on the condition of the Field at
the moment the buzzer sounds.

It's easy to miss.  Rule 35 says "Only the final (end-of-Match) condition
of your Field is evaluated for scoring."

In past years, there were missions that earned points because of something
that occurred in the middle of the Match.  Something like that would have
to be explicitly written out in the Mission description.  None of those
happen this year.
