Are 8 play regional reasonable?

I'm sure someone in this thread will just tell me to suggest a better a way to communicate it. Or if I care so much about it, to do it myself.

Alas, the internet.

Mike,
By far and away, more veteran teams had issues with the 8" rule than rookies (OK maybe 50/50). It has been very distressing that teams did not interpret the rules correctly, even after the Team Update #5 that added to the bumper drawings came out in Week 3 of build. There is a big arrow pointing to a bumper segment that is "<8 inches" as being "not OK".
