It seems the GDC intentionally made this bumper rule to prohibit teams from kicking the soccer balls into the crowd.

So the question is, will any teams be able to make a shot from the middle zone without much vertical lift?
You only need about 12.5 in. lift, right? It is definitely doable if you design for the maximum angle bumper placement allows. Consider lower placement of "boot" impact position, even angled "boot"...
