This should make it strategically disadvantageous in almost every scenario to declare a dead ball like that.

You can also pass to a human player on your alliance.

If the dead BALL is freed, that BALL must be removed from the FIELD through one of the ALLIANCE’S GOALS or by passing to an ALLIANCE HUMAN PLAYER.
