Ball Stuck Under Bridge When Balancing?
Our team, team 2481, had the following situation happen during Wisconsin Regional qual match 24 today:

Our team and team 1714 were balanced on the coopertition bridge when the match ended. Because there was a ball stuck under the bridge the bridge was not considered balanced. However, no foul was given for this situation. We were both awarded 1 QP because we were both fully supported by the bridge

The only rule referencing this situation that I could find is rule G:14 which states
"Strategies that use Basketballs to either aid or inhibit Balancing of any Bridge are not allowed.
Violation: Technical-Foul, and counting or discounting the affected Bridge as Balanced, as appropriate."

Does anyone know of any rules that would support this outcome?
