The only time i see this rule working is during finals when the same teams are against each other... other then that with everything being "Random" during qualifications i don't think that they can really penalize you because of a alliance partner you didn't have in your previous match.

apart from that there really are only 2-3 penalties this year:
~Intently wedging or flipping and opponent (they disable you i think)
~throwing the Super Cell before the last 20 seconds of match(20 points off)
~and then this rule which would only allow you to score 2 points per ball in match if you do really well in previous match

I think this rule will be the deciding factor in a lot/all of the finals
