Just learn to fly your planes through the huge gaps on the map, if you watch the better BW players this is what they do, or just team up with a FW on your team and get them to cover your bombers.
There is nothing wrong with putting planes NEAR the border... If someone puts bombers up to the north border, moves them along with them completely visible (at least 1" in) then I have no problems with that. The biggest issue with border humpers is that it wasn't seen as a problem in the GNGWC and other competitions because you can't really deal with it.
In one game, we lost a SY south to 20 DBers from a Chinese Fleet, in another we lost an H44 north due to 30 DBers, in both cases they launched the bombers, ran them directly north or south to the border and then just moved them along completely out of sight. When you don't realise them until they come off the border it is too late...
