Of course not. But it's also not risk-free. If you continue to batter the team when you're 2-2 and 1 square from the EZ and there's noone in front of you, you have to expect to roll triple skulls on some unimportant block, and then have that goblin TTMed onto your ball carrier, causing the ball to bounce onto his prone body (where he landed inside the EZ), thence into the crowd, at which point it'll be thrown diagonally 9 squares where the crowd gets its hands on it again. And knowing my (er.. I mean your) luck, they'll probably throw it straight into the hands of the orc blitzer who's just stood up after being stunned and is deep in your half, 15 squares from the nearest other player, and only 3 squares from your EZ.
Go on, try it. You'll see it happens 3 times out of 4.
Moral of the story: unless you're 4-1 up, expect things to go HORRIBLY wrong when you stall
in order to cause casualties. (If you're stalling in order to win, like dwarves do, then you're probably all right.)
All the elf teams can score in one turn without needing a riot.
Stalling or clock management is to slow bashy teams what one turn scorers is to to fast teams..... (neither is bad form)
My favourite defence vs stalling is fouling (even better with DP) , surround/issolate one of his players & foul him/her till it is no longer in play, the move on to another & repeat, (just ignore the stall..... (you will find your opponent probably scoring when you have thier star Wardancer, Bull Centaur, or Big Guy, or any other exspensive or high skilled player(s) eating boot, play after play......

because its fun for people to shoot you down
Is it bad form if you have control of the ball and there is NO way for the other team to stop you from scoring to continue to batter his players (you have already technically won)
okay say Morpheus pinned your players out and continued to beat the tar out of you even know he virtually had the win
