Sorry I started complicating things with Q588. Q588 and Q603 seem to indicate that the LAST robot to touch a BOULDER moving into an opponent's courtyard but complete an entire CROSSING. It's true that it seems to only apply to BOULDERS that start in the NEUTRAL ZONE. That's a bit confusing and would be a lot of work for refs. Anyone want to see if the GDC wants to amend things slightly to cover moving a ball from the OUTER WORKS to the COURTYARD? That'd make reffing easier. Though it'd open a new avenue for defense, since a defender would just have to get the BOULDER to stay in the OUTER WORKS to cause a headache.
