True; however, this would still artificially inflate your match score (since fouls add to the other alliance's score). If done strategically against alliances you're confident you can beat by 6+ points, this could boost your team's ranking (as the second order sort after ranking points is cumulative match score).

EDIT: I don't condone this strategy (and personally hope the rules don't allow it come competition season), but as the rules are currently written I don't see much stopping it.
