Section 3.1.2: "With the exception of UNPROCESSED LITTER, if the actions of one ALLIANCE cause any of the other ALLIANCE’S game elements that
are in scoring position to no longer be in scoring position, the affected ALLIANCE will be credited points for the displaced game elements
at the conclusion of the MATCH."

Using an Air Vortex Cannon would presumably be considered an action.
