Re: Can teams damage their own defenses?

For example, if blue cross its own defenses 8 times it has met the requirements of the first two bullets 8 times and the third bullet point is never met (it's not the opponent's courtyard). If it then crossed a red defense once it has met the requirements for the first two bullets 9 times, but the third bullet point has only been met one time, thus is only awarded for one CROSSING.

It's an interesting edge case to think about, for sure.
Hopefully it's an edge case they'll clarify, since I could definitely see there being a reason to cut across your own defense if it's faster (say to pick up a loose boulder or go on defense). As others have said in this thread it puts an undue burden on the refs, but the rules also emphasize that it falls on the team to inform the refs when conditions are met.

I'll try to submit a Q&A once I get the team password. I suspect this is a simple oversight and teams will be allowed to cross their own defenses with impunity, although it would be interesting if they decide not to permit it.
