You have just interchanged the chugh-part, which is not allowed with meH-clauses. There is at least one canon example of placing {qatlh} in the middle of a sentence. But isn't there a difference between a {-chugh} sentence and a purpose clause? (I'm seriously asking) {potlhbe'chugh yay qatlh pe''eghlu'?} "If winning is not important, then why keep score?"
