G34 No more than six (6) BOULDERS may remain in a CASTLE at any time. If the BOULDER count ever exceeds six (6), excess BOULDERS must be introduced to the FIELD immediately. Violation: FOUL per excess BOULDER
G3 could be interpreted that as soon as more than 6 balls are in the alliance station, a penalty is received.

Or, it could be interpreted that the alliance has a grace period to return to 6 or less balls by reintroducing them to the field, and if they don't in a timely manner, then they will receive a penalty.

If interpretation 1 is used, a possible G11 could by issued against the team using this strategy as you are forcing them to take fouls.

Although your strategy is not directly aimed at causing fouls, an effect of your strategy is causing fouls so it could be argued your strategy indirectly involves forcing them to take fouls giving you a G11
