I am 99% sure this is okay. I am certain it was last year, but since we have no need for it this year, I didn't keep the info in my head.

Best I can do.

P.S. ... I hated myself for the above answer, so I decided to look it up... ...processing...

couldn't find it in the rules, but according the the Q&A section (search for "vacuum") I think it IS legal:

Section:5.7.2 Status:Answered Date Answered:1/20/2004 Q:It is it legal to make a mechanical device like a syringe to evacuate air out of an area so as to create a vacuum, thereby taking advantage of atmospheric pressure when attaching to balls?A:Yes, it is legal.
