Defense. If you place that piece, your opponent will get between you and the tower, and then you won't get to the tower. If you're on the tower at 30 seconds, they can hit you for 15 seconds, debate whether to back off for 5 seconds, but if they hit you after that, they get a red card. If you're placing a tube before running back, they get between you and the tower, and you can get a pinning penalty. Worse, if you try to ram your way through, you need to be careful not to hit your opponent at their tower, because then you get the red card.

330 learned that the hard way in Arizona last weekend.
