Outside the box defense

In real life (IE when you go to apply your engineering skills to tasks in industry) there will be constraints on all sorts of things - many of which may or may not be "fair" or even "intelligent". You must learn to either work around them or use them to your advantage - preferably a bit of both. - OScubed [more]

Actually, you'd be knocking down your OWN tubes leaning against the far side of the field. So what consitutes herding in this situation? I heard a few herding penalties given out. If you just knock them all down intentionally without pushing the bulk of them in a specific direction, is that ok?
