I blame myself rather than the system. I should have posted to the GDC on this issue. Sometimes you think you are right and don't bother to ask...

Oh well...
The problem is that the GDC has not officially ruled on this and it was just up to there discretion once we got to our second regional to say that we were illegal even though there was no performance gain or anything from our system. Functionally our bumper is 100% identical to similar bumpers constructed with angle aluminum in the corners.
