Removing the ball from the overpass after the hybrid period is over does not score any points. It would be to an alliance's advantage to leave the opposing alliance's trackballs on the overpass until just before the end of the match, and remove them at the last possible moment in order to deprive the opponents of the <G14> bonus.
