Unless it is a new rule this year, why be concerned about this?
It was previously prohibited as rolling them in any way was not considered to be worn as the manufacturer intended.

The new rule change now allows the waistbands to be rolled, but it is silent on any other variation. Thus, the restriction remains with regards to the bottom of the pants.

The desire to roll the bottoms was in response to rolling the waistband being restricted as a way to shorten the overall length. Now that the waistbands can be rolled, there should be no motivation to roll the legs up.
