Rookie Team Passing Inspection (video)

[Squillo]

Are teams getting dinged for bumpers (for example, let's assume full coverage bumpers, no 'cutout' or "c-shaped" frame) that meet the other rules (no gap more than 1/4" deep) but are not connected at the very end? Say, securely connected to the frame 3" in from the end of the plywood?

There was a lot of discussion on here a while back about the "connected at the end" part of the rule. Is that tripping up a lot of teams?
