You see, people are under the misconception that basing the ball raises the jackpot. They think that it will cause people to go into their base trying to get the ball, and will be killed. HOWEVER, the ballers know they won't be able to get the ball, so most of the time they just go into spec until the flag game is over, or they go to another arena/zone. If you leave the balls out, the jackpot goes up because a lot of killing goes on around the goal. THEREFORE, basing the balls is probably one of the worst things you can do to increase the jackpot, and any reasonably not stupid flagging team will realize to not do it. Thank you.
