most teams did ignore the 10 point ball, because sometimes it just doesn't come to your advantage to have purple balls loose all over the field. i did see it released nearly every match by 1083 at the Chesapeake Regional and 233 released it once for their alliance partner, 759, at NYC. Most teams decided not to worry about the small balls until they were released on their own, as they were successful in gaining points either later or without the small balls. Teams that could corrall balls quickly and successfully may not have needed to drop the 10 point ball early either. As well, from my match viewing, most of the time the 10 point ball ends up out of the playing field, and why knock out a ball when you can't get the points for it?
