Strategies that use Basketballs to either aid or inhibit Balancing of any Bridge are not allowed.
Violation: Technical-Foul, and counting or discounting the affected Bridge as Balanced, as appropriate.

Aha, I knew there was a rule I overlooked. Nevermind then.

Today 2054 attempted to block 910 from reaching the bridge to finish off our triple balance since 910 was trying to play defense on the other side while 1918 and us, 85 were freely allowed to go on our bridge due to 141 and 3546 already double balancing leaving 2054 to shoot 3 pointers in. 910 however managed to break free and finish off the balance barely in time (like 1 second on the clock.)

The team in the lead has a possible advantage with not needing a triple balance to win the match so they could dedicate a robot purely to defense on the bridge timing approximately before when the other alliance will attempt. Trying to time the defense is a lot more risky but frees up a robot to do something else besides block a bridge.

My 2 cents on bridge balancing.
