[Doug Frisk]

While you cannot damage your own defenses, I would suggest that if your strategy involves traversing your own defenses you keep an eye on what the refs are doing the first week or two.

It's quite possible that in the heat of the moment a ref may not notice the bumper color and mistakenly award the opposing team credit for crossing the defense.

If that's the difference between fully breaching the outer defenses or not, it could affect seeding. But at least you'll get to hang out in the question box for a bit.

Or you could use the secret passage to avoid the potential issue.
