In lieu of a GDC approved definition of "supported", I agree with Tristan that it is not up to the inspectors to make on the site decisions as to what does, or does not, constitute support. If a frame piece provides even the most marginal degree of support... then it is within the rules as they are written now (subject, I am sure, to a Q and A response in the very near future.)

One of the difficult things about being an inspector is to read the rules as they are written... not as you think they should be written. In the spirit of natural justice and fair play that which is not forbidden by the rules must be permitted and that which is required by the rules must be required... even if as an inspector you think the rule is nuts and/or inadequate.

But what would an FRC game be without a few bumper rules to keep things exciting.
