This solves any issue of hybrid balls not being worth full points due to either going in after the bell or because of a jam. There have a few matches that have been stop and replayed mid match due to a jam that occurred in the hybrid period, again this solves that issue. The pause could also be just 5 seconds to keep the flow of the match going.

Many previous games have had this in place - why not this one? Maybe the GDC just didn't realize how much autonomous scoring there would be... could they maybe implement it for championships?
