What rule are you reading? The closest that I can find is R24-C, which specifies the size of pool noodle and the maximum thickness of the bumper, but not the minimum thickness.

R24-C use a stacked pair of approximately 2 ½ in. round, petal, or hex “pool noodles” (solid or hollow) as the BUMPER cushion material (see Figure 4-4). Cushion material may extend up to 2 ½ in. beyond the end of the plywood (see Figure 4-2).
