Regretfully, if your design will not function when a legal bumper is in place, you are somewhat out-of-luck, and it becomes a lesson-learned for next year: Read the rules carefully.

Technically the rule is that the wood is 5" +/- 1/2" high so a bumper who's backing is 4 1/2" high would be legal under the current rules.
