Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and there's still penalties to take into account. One overenthusiastic payload specialist throwing a Super Cell in early could bring the match score from, say, 6-10 to 6-0. Again, not something most teams want to risk.
But like you said for the opposing team to keep track of the opponent's carts' and how many balls they have, and how many pts the other team has will be extremely difficult, not to mention penalties, sure you can attempt to low score it, but then it would be hard to figure out in your head how many pts you need to overtake them, penalties included, and personally I don't think a driver will concern themselves with such things, it's not a huge risk basically is what I'm saying.
