It's true, several teams had trouble getting onto a ramp with a tube on it.
My theory was, if you can knock down your own tubes at their end of the field, there will be tubes in the way at the end of the match.

You folks are right, though, it'd be difficult to knock them all down without looking like you're herding them, and any team whose ramp faces the rack, rather than the side walls, wouldn't be affected as much by this.
