Also, this condition is significantly different from the concave corners discussion. I agree with you that the rules are the rules, we all just need to understand them. Go to the "is this corner considered protected" thread for a more in depth discussion.

Thanks,

Scott,

I'm not sure what's unclear about "bumper segments". Segments is plural. That implies two bumper segments, which means both sides of the corner.

The odds of that are just about zero. The GDC has stated that they will not comment on the legality of specific designs.
