Q. Bumper rule R19 states "If a side is shorter than 8 in., the entire side must be protected by BUMPER". If the side is 27" with a 13" cut-out (14" remaining) does the 8" minimum apply or is the 7" on either side of the cut-out considered a full side less than 8"?


A. Per the Blue Box below R19: the dimension defined in R19 is measured along the FRAME PERIMETER. A lack of physical frame elements between corners of the FRAME PERIMETER does not change the length of the FRAME PERIMETER side.

So that would mean that the 4" on either side scenario would be acceptable (4+4>=8) but anything less would violate R19?

That is how my team is interpreting that answer, which is contrary to what Jacob suggested.
