Re: intentionally starting without a ball in auto

You time risk a foul, and wind up with the same situation (a boulder in your possession) with a few seconds off the auto clock. Then, your big payoff is that at the end of auto, (assuming no one does a double boulder auto) there are only five boulders on the center line instead of six. Definite cost, moderate risk, negligible (and risky, could go negative) payoff.

But then, people littered last year before the coop bonus was scored, so some mental processes must find an advantage in this sort of stuff.
