Check out G40 and the examples provided. I think that it's pretty clear that you can knock a boulder into the courtyard provided you touch the boulder while on/in the outer works AND you complete the crossing. There is nothing I can find that says you have to maintain control while in the courtyard. Leaving the boulder for an alliance shooter should be AOK!
