Note that this strategy is poor if there is a tube that is scored, but hanging by a thread, cause accidentally de-scoring it is a red-card in elims. This gave the #7 alliance one more chance to beat #2 (Although it ended up not mattering).

When I first saw human players doing this in our first seeding match on saturday I was initially mad and then quickly realized there was very little chance of knocking the tube out of our gripper and they were dropping tubes for us to score just like you said. Just about every match we played after that on saturday had human players trying to knock tubes out of our gripper and only one in eliminations was successful but then cost the team a red card. I would have to agree this is quite a poor strategy.
