Otherwise a team could use larger pool noodles and compress them down to 2.5" diameter and that doesn't seem legal either. What I'm trying to get at is the rule set seems incomplete. If the GDC's intent is for bumper pool noodles not to be compressed their should be a rule that states that. Under the current rule set I would have a hard time justifying forcing a team with compressed bumpers to remake their bumpers.

If they compressed their pool noodles significantly, how can you know they used the proper diameter noodles without having them take apart their bumpers and show the noodles in an uncompressed state?
