That's not correct. Breaking the plane is the metric for determining if you're going clockwise, not counter-clockwise. When going counter-clockwise, what section of the track you're on depends on the CROSSING definition.

CROSSING: The act of a TRCKBALL or ROBOT passing through the plane defined by a line (i.e. LANE MARKER or FINISH LINE) when it is projected vertically upwards. A TRACKBALL or ROBOT shall have CROSSED a line when all parts of the object, while traveling in a counterclockwise direction, have completely passed through the plane.

We saw this in the human demonstration during kickoff... a robot broke the plane of a line during hybrid, but didn't entirely CROSS it, so he didn't get any bonus points.
