Maybe you need to take it up with the NUS.

By the description, the foot (left) is on the plate and the other foot (right) is on the ground AND the knee is on the ground too.
As decsribed, both feet are on the gound, the right is not sliding. I will bet you that you cannot take the described position without some part of the right foot being planted firmly.
As originally described, it sounded more like the weight was on the knee and the foot was just an appendage at the end of the leg. That I would not call "firmly" on the ground. But as described in a subsequent post, the pitch seemed perfectly legal.
