I will get access to our team's Q&A Username & password & ask this there to be clarified.
I don't actually mind this being a penalty, but I would like to see this being stated officially somewhere - ya know?
If only it was myself who had missed it in the rules, I would think that's ok, & not a big deal, but if the majority of CD members thoughts here is that it is not in the rules, but is being penalized (which it has been at events I've been to since the Scrimmage before ship date) then I kinda have a big problem with that.
I shall report back to these forums when I get the answer!
Until then.

Edit: I just submitted the question & am awaiting a reply.

I just heard back from the GDC & it is disheartening news for week 1 Regional teams who were penalized for this very action.

Strong emphasis mine!

Rule <G22> only requires that an EMPTY CELL be placed on the CELL RACK when it is exchanged for a SUPER CELL.
There is no requirement that an EMPTY CELL be placed in a specific location (e.g. exactly opposite a SUPER CELL).

If it was being called this way at any competition events, this was a mistake in officiating, and we apologize for that error. This will be corrected.
