That seems questionable in my mind, for although you can hold balls in your corral in the last 11 seconds, it still seems like if a ball comes in a the 11 or 10 second mark, you might want to attempt to still get that ball back on the feild, but have some delay so that i may get on the feild when there is little time to take ANY evasive action to attempt to score. That is a good question though. It seems that holding the balls is a good strategy, but also, look at the option that you could have an alliance member, or even your own team, that is ready to get one more ball in, although it is the finale and robots may be hanging everywhere, it is a combonation of both strategy and design weither you will attempt for 2 and hang (or 3 off another bot) or try to score 1 ball for one point. The rules of seeding are diffrent from previous games, so maybe 1 point for a 12-11 win may be more giving instead of a 13-11 match, because 1 point can make a big diffrence in a low scoring game with hge effects on the placement of your team. SO holding the balls can be a good strategy as long as you pay attention to the clock, but maybe if you have the advantage of real-time scoreing (although not always accurate, but in a game with electronic goal scoring it can) you can make a better decision that can help your overall seeding.
