[Karthik]

Q: Do We Have To Introduce The Large Ball
A: Yes, the *Large Ball *must be introduced. If not, it counts as scored for the opponent alliance.

@VEX Clean Sweep Manual

<SG3> Each *alliance *MUST introduce the large ball into the field of play sometime in the last thirty seconds (0:30) of the match. The large ball must be introduced by a *coach *on the alliance.
…
If an *alliance *does not legally introduce the *large ball *into play, it counts as being *scored *in their opponents scoring zone.
• Illegal ways of introducing the ball include: introducing the ball into play early, not “gently” introducing the ball, not introducing the ball into the large ball introduction zone, or not introducing the ball at all.
