When watching the Chesapeake competition, I saw two types of defence- playing straight defence against teams, pushing them around, attempting to block them from getting to the bridge, etc, etc, was not very effective.
On the other hand, I also saw team 2534 playing defence very effectively. They went over the bump almost immediately and started shooting every ball they could back to the other side. With their long range shooter, they even made a couple shots from that distance. But that ball deprivation strategy allowed them to pull off a couple wins that I would not have expected them to get otherwise. I think that this kind of strategy could be very effective in elims.
