So, if the Boulder doesn't exit into the Corral, it is not scored, regardless.
Now, if the back of the tower failed in some way that it was a clear breakage of the field and the field wasn't in compliance with the drawings, I could conceive of it being called a field fault. And that could lead to replay of the match, based on the criteria given in the manual for that.
I see this as very similar to 2014, where if the ball bounced back into the field, it didn't "stay through" the opening of the goal, and thus didn't count.
