Team Update 1

[jee7s]

Looks like they put section 4 of the administrative manual in as section 4 of the game manual in the latest update. So, I don't have full detail on the bumper rules, but...

This seems to make at least some types of scaling a disabling offense:

That's a contradiction that needs to be cleared up.

There may have been some comment about an exception to bumper rules while scaling in Section 4.7, but like I said, the admin section 4 is in the new game manual, and I don't have a second copy.
