I really hope that isn't the case... it makes no sense for teams to throw the ball out of field - it will still add at least 5 secs to the cycle time (and this is assuming you have an instant touch pickup).

By allowing the ball to be quickly placed on the field, people who don't know the rules can still enjoy the scoring aspect of the game.

Oh well, I hope that the time it takes to return the ball to a HP is not as high as the 2nd week competitions begin.
