That's a BIG difference this late in the season. If they didn't want defense played between the towers then penalize it from the get go.

It is a radical change that should have been included in the original rules. I think the observation that blocking bots from leaving rather than entering is a good adaptation to this change. Also, pinning is more important and has to be part of defense, stalking the other Alliance's line to prohibit entry won't work, weight, wheels and drive train of bots built to block all have to be chosen for strength and stability vs. maneuverability. Quick light maneuverable blocking bots are going to be penalty factories for the opposition unless they keep to the middle.
