Bumper question

Greetings,
My team and i are having a slight disagreement having to do with bumpers.

We have designed a rail that looks like this:



two questions regarding bumpers:

1. will the flange be enough to technically support the bumpers and make them legal?

2. I would like to place 1" standoffs at the end of the rail and every 8" or so to make them legal. Another member says they can add brackets to the bumpers at the same interval to support them and they would be legal. Who is right?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
