SO far, it's definitely legal.

The attachment system must be designed to withstand vigorous game play. All removable fasteners (e.g. bolts, locking pins, pip-pins, etc.) will be considered part of the BUMPERS.
No matter how robust the connection between the frame perimeter and the bumpers, were I an inspector, I would rule that this does not constitute a robust connection to the main structure/frame.

For the record, I am not an inspector.

Edit: Especially on the corners,which is where bumpers are mandatory.
