We investigate the classical scattering dynamics of the driven elliptical billiard. Two fundamental scattering mechanisms are identified and employed to understand the rich behavior of the escape rate. A long-time algebraic decay which can be tuned by varying the driving amplitude is established. Pulsed escape rates and decelerated escaping particles are generic properties of the harmonically breathing billiard. This suggests time-dependent billiards as prototype systems to study the nonequilibrium evolution of classical ensembles encountering a multitude of scattering processes off driven targets.
