Need to Confirm: Bumper Height

[SavagePeaches]

Does anyone happen to have a 100% sure answer to the minimum/maximum height of the bumpers from the floor?
Thank you in advance

Minimum height for the bottom of the bumper from the floor: 1"
Maximum height for the bottom of the bumper from the floor: 2" *

* This number assumes the pool noodles and cloth wrapping them are 5" or less, as the bumper backing is required to be 5". Likely you won't quite be able to hit 2", due to the width of the fabric and any bulge from the pool noodles you might have.

The rules simply don't specify the distance of the bottom from the floor. As others have said above, the assembled/attached bumpers must fit between two horizontal planes at 1 and 7 inches off the floor. This allows minor variations in height of the bumper assembly(s) and their attachment mechanisms.

We typically just design to split the difference (i.e. 1/2 inch above and below the upper/lower bumper surfaces) unless we have some design reason to bias towards one limit or the other; how close you want to push it is up to you.
