Launching the boulder while your bumpers are in the outerworks, then failing to complete the cross into the courtyard will result in a technical foul under G40B or G41 (depending on the exact order of activity), without regard to whether the defense is damaged.

As the courtyard is defined as infinitely tall, launching it towards the goals would cause it to pass through the courtyard.
