I find that somewhat interesting, because we had an 1/8" drop as well and received penalties as a result. We were told that as we accelerated and decelerated quickly our rock would lift the ball up ever so slightly during gameplay.
I'm not trying to imply the wrong calls were made on either of us, but that's ultimately the reason we removed our center drop and swapped out the rear plaction wheels for slick wheels for MSC on.
I harbor no ill feeling whatsoever towards any ref who may or may not have called incidental carrying penalties such as the ones we experienced, but I do feel that the way it was called at the Championship, i.e. you only received a penalty for carrying a ball an extended period of time, was more within the intent of the rule in my opinion.
