A momentary adjustment of the ball is typically allowed where common sense and knowledge of the intent of the rule are found. This has been the case in various areas in which I have worked FED games including California and Washington State. It is also allowed at the Regional and State tournament levels in Washington and was included in the mandatory FED clinic a few years back.
