I won't be surprised if you do have trouble with it though. Sure the small member acrossed the top meets the wording of the rule. However, it doesn't meet the intent of the rule. I'm sure you will get to compete and everything fine. You might just have to lawyer with the judges a bit first. Honestly though, its hard to say without seeing it with the bumper on and getting a closer look. I'm just saying that refs sometimes read the rules differently then we do. Plan to have a bumper rules expert standing by for inspection. If the person that takes it for inspection doesn't seem confident and knowledgeable about every rule, they seem to assume that you don't know any of the rules.
