I think that this meets the definition of hanging given so, yes it would be worth 10 points.
I have a broader question though.
WHEN would teams use this strategy?
During the seeding matches, if a team is already winning, there is no point to doing this (winning by 1 or 10 or even 20 is all the same).
If a team is losing by less than 10, then perhaps it makes sense, but it also invites another team to come beat the tar out of you and your alliance partner.
I suppose that if you are quick and are losing by less than 5 points and your opponents are both on the ramp, it could be a great advantage. If one or both of the opponents comes off the ramp to try to stop you from getting your 10, then you 'gain' 5 by their getting off the ramp. If they they sit on the ramp watching, you pass them by gaining 10 points.
As you can see, I really don't know how this whole thing is going to play out.
If you have strategy thoughts why don't you share them?
