Re: scoring in center goal from platform

If you have a high-capacity machine that can quickly shoot multiple balls into the center goal from atop your opponent's platform, does it really matter if they pin you? If anything, don't they want to get you off the platform?

When your offensive period ends, they'd be sacrificing scoring opportunity to keep you back there and even the odds to 2 vs. 2 on the other side of the field. If you're still stuck at the end of the match, you'd need to have scored 5+ balls through the center goal to negate their potential ramp bonus. Anything above that is gravy.

If your machine needs to be up on the platform to score in the center goal and you can't manage to get five balls in over a minute and a half, you probably ought not be up there at all.
