Having an unsupported bumper this year will invite broken bumpers.

There's a difference between a 38" long bumper segment only supported at the ends and a 38" long bumper segment supported every 12". The latter is never going to break if you're using high quality plywood.
The example I gave is what I believe Craig is referring to.
