Bolded is the rule change:
The idea behind this is for a situation where it's basically impossible to keep it under six basketballs. Most likely cause of this is a ton of scoring all at once, e.g, 2-3 basketballs per robot, robot A scores in left middle, robot B scores in right middle, robot C scores in top/bottom. While this rule kind of goes without saying, we definitely want to avoid someone complaining and claiming that there was a penalty on the opposing alliance after they score 9 basketballs in a matter of seconds. And since it's IRI, this very well could happen.

The GDC already covered this in January, didn't they?
Q: What is the definition of immediately? Suppose that 7 balls are scored in rapid succession. Each inbounder may hold 2 balls at a time, which means that the ball coral cannot be emptied immediately. So, how fast do the inbounders have to empty the coral to be considered "immediate"?
A: In that scenario, the Alliance would need to rectify the situation to be in compliance with all Game rules as quickly as [sic] safely as possible.
I like the idea of limiting the time in which you're allowed to balance, though at IRI I expect it will be largely self-limited. Still, some kind of bonus for shorter time to balance would be cool and probably make matches eve with more exciting. Not sure about scoring system implementation, though.
