If interpretation 1 is used, a possible G11 could by issued against the team using this strategy as you are forcing them to take fouls.

Although your strategy is not directly aimed at causing fouls, an effect of your strategy is causing fouls so it could be argued your strategy indirectly involves forcing them to take fouls giving you a G11
With this interpretation, I would be fouled any time my alliance scores a boulder when there are six boulders in the corral, even if we weren't doing a weird strategy, which doesn't make much sense.
