Answered by Game Design Committee
The definition of Hoarding is as follows:
Hoarding – A Robot status. A Robot is Hoarding if it is actively blocking opposing Robot access to more than two (2) Balls, or more than one (1) Cap, in any of the four (4) corners of the field (i.e. positioned in the corner roughly the size of one foam field tile).
The area between the Flags is not called out as a possible destination for Hoarding; therefore, placing two Caps between two Flag towers would not be considered Hoarding, and would be legal.
