I recall this problem from 2007. There weren't too many rings that scored directly on the rack. Whether thrown frisbee style or vertically "rolling" in the air, they usually swerved.

It would only seem to be compounded when throwing the triangle and square.

Keep in mind that the tubes would pretty much have to be launched with some sort of spin about the vertical axis to have a controllable flight. The arc that is created could be repeatable in a mechanical launching device. If done well, this idea certainly has potential, but keep in mind it would require at least one of your alliance partners to be able to floor-load the game pieces (or catch them in midair).
