If you stop the opposing alliance from scoring, you stop balls from being returned to them, and eventually they will lose control of the balls all together. An excellent strategy would be to sit in the middle zone and try to control the other alliance's balls as they return to play.
But if the other team doesn't score, you're hurting yourself, too, according to the seeding rule.
