SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I will be the first to say that if it can be done, this is an excelent strategy, keeping in mind a couple things..........

If you put the ball too far in, any ball on top of that are multiplied, even is you get 5 or 6 in thats still decent points. If the ball is gently placed on top, the hp's might have some devine strength and be able to knock the ball out (though with the PVC in back that might be hard).

This strategy works very well against an alliance who hads no 2x ball capibilities, however some teams that can hang, might be able to uncap the ball as well.
