Messing with your opponents 2x ball will definitely happen. We plan on being able to take the 2x ball out of the opponents stationary goal and returning to our goal.

This decision will have to be based on the worth of that multiplier. It the have 3 balls plus a multiplier and we have 5 balls with no multiplier. It we can move the multiplier from there goal to ours while only getting 3 goaltending flags it would be worth it to us. Not only would you gain more points, your 25+ pts + their 15- pts = 40 pt change - 3 goaltending (10 each) = 10 pt overall advantage, the overall score of the game is increased by 30 to 40 points. Goaltending in this manner isn't particularly detrimental to anyone. Don't get mad at me for saying this again, but these rules kind invite this type of play.

I know I have to take there 2X ball and move it to my goal to win but as a side effect the complete score of the game is raised. Another advantage to the teams removing the ball. I would rather see them enforce a goaltending after 5 to 10 seconds of attempting to remove the ball or a single flag if the ball attempted to be removed and is not removed. This would add the challenge of designing a quick method for removing the ball and not allow someone to drop the ball after nine seconds and get a restart on the ten seconds. It would also get rid of more of the goaltending aspect since most teams would remove the ball within ten seconds.
