When the alliance's ball is scored, then the pedestal will light up and the next ball is available for play.

But the main focus of this game, the assists, seems pretty boring imo. Assuming the average team will push balls, we get to see a lot of bashing and not much else. Because this is a more defense-oriented game, it leaves a lot to be desired in the "thrill" department; if you don't understand the game/aren't on a team, it seems pretty boring.

just my two cents but this game is pretty vanilla

It's just a fun, clever name. I think you might be taking it a little bit too seriously.
