Arena 2.2.1 defines "The Court":

"The Court for Rebound Rumble is a 27 by 54 ft carpeted area, bounded by two Alliance Walls and a guardrail system. The Court is covered with carpet (Shaw Floors, Philadelphia Commercial, Neyland II, 20, 30753, “park bench”). Hoops are located at the ends of the Court attached to the Alliance Walls. Three Bridges are located in the center of the Court. Areas of red and blue tape on the surface of the Court denote Alleys; solid red and blue semicircular areas are Keys."

Other paragraphs go on to define "The Bridges", "The Hoops", "Alliance Walls", etc.

I read this as The Court being the carpeted floor. The tabs do not touch the carpet. I believe the rule was intended to prevent sharp cleats and studs on wheels from damaging the carpet.

This is all a moot point, as the bottom portion of the tabs will be covered such that no metal contacts the bridge.
