Ours this year was 12.5"-13" because of a nice briefcase that it was in. The inspector at the Boston regional was very nice and said that although we technically were over the limit by a small margin he did not see it as being a hazard or having the possibility to fall off the shelf.

Moral of the Story: We were ok with being slightly over-sized as I believe the vast majority of teams were. However, it is always better to know for sure that you are in accordance with the rules than to live on the edge and chance it.
