Re: Team Update #2

The 6" bumper picture doesn't make sense. It clearly states in the rules that a bumper can use a pool noodle vertically oriented at the end or bevel the edges. If you bevel the edges you get 3" of bumper sticking out from the bumper perimiter and this is specifically legal. That leaves 3 more inches required to get 6. What they show is 9" of bumper, not 6" (my 4 year old showed me the math behind that one). Since when did 3 + 6 = 6?
