If you were sparging upward to the end, the malt pipe would be undrained at that point. I guess if you're fly sparging downward, and doing it "properly" you would have some water above the top of the grain bed when you stop. So the difference between the top of the malt pipe and the top of the grain bed, plus the weak runnings outside the malt pipe, plus the water beneath the lower screen would be the amount of water you'd dispose of with upward sparging.
