100% agreed that it sounds more like acrylic. However, we're certain of the material composition, as we had taken the "GE Lexan" backing off just before the tournament. Most of the fault is ours in that the problem was that the section of the mounting bracket that broke had a cross section of only 1/8" by < 1/16" and wasn't cut cleanly. I speculate that there was probably a small tear in that part of the mounting bracket which caused the failure of the bracket.
