During the second match, it becomes apparent that your alliance is losing, so you throw a couple of super cells in before the 20-second mark, causing 40 points in penalties and dropping your score down to zero. Now you have an advantage in the third match, since the other alliance can't score two of their super cells.
It's even more severe than than you think. Remember, the "modification" is applied per team, not per alliance, so they're going to lose two empty cells and all four super cells.
