This is an incorrect understanding. The drawbridge is facing towards the neutral zone, meaning that it is easy to return from the courtyard to the neutral zone, but in order to damage it, you must pull the drawbridge down with some apparatus and cross it.

EDIT: The relevant line from the Game Manual, paragraph 1 of section 5.5.10.1 AUDIENCE SELECTION OF DEFENSES, page 100:

Quote:
Prior to each round of Qualification and Playoff MATCHES, the audience selects one of the DEFENSES used by both ALLIANCES on the FIELD. The Audience selected DEFENSE is located in the OUTER WORKS position 3 for both ALLIANCES. The selection process is managed by the Herald (MC) and overseen by the Head REFEREE. The DEFENSE which receives the loudest response, as judged by the Head REFEREE, will be the chosen DEFENSE for the upcoming round of MATCHES.
