Re: Ball Recirculation Question

Quote:
G05> In order for a ball to score, it must enter the goal and exit via the exit chute. A ball that bounces out of the
goal is not scored. Once a ball is scored for a particular ALLIANCE, it cannot score again until it is
entered onto the field by the opposing ALLIANCE’s HUMAN PLAYER.
Why would a opposing alliance member want to throw ball back on the field? Based on this rule, it would behove the opposing alliance NOT tho put the balls back into play. By not putting the balls back in play, they can keep the score down, way down!!

Likewise, they could throw the balls to the backcourt, allowing the backbot time to scoop them up and having a distinct advantage in the next period.

Another type of defensive stratedgy.
