I agree it's effective, but I disagree in saying that's defensive. Hoarding balls is defensive, and it's very RARELY practical in elimination matches. If you're shooting balls to the other side in aims to allow alliance partners to score points then it's an offensive strategy.
I get what you mean by saying that you can slow down other alliances, but I compete in Michigan, and here, you almost always have to face 1 or more championship finals caliber teams in the district finals. You either win, or you lose, slowing them down isn't effective.
I forgot not everyone competes in this environment and my opinion doesn't count for everyone. But these are the conditions it was composed in.
