Re: 1/2" gap in bumpers, is this acceptable?

Of note here - in some previous years, it was NOT required to have soft bumper material in the corners. Specifically, i know our first year (2007) we build our bumpers with no material at all in the corners, and they were perfectly legal.

Since then, we've cut all of our pool noodles at 45 degrees to fill the corners nicely.
