Based on the original concept, yes it would be a disqualification.
I don't think it right to stipulate that you must detect the line.
As I understand the game, the idea is to run down the track as fast as
possible but be able to stop in the given distance. If you can hang off
the table then you are not stopping in the given distance. That's my
point.
