You do not stand at the spot if the ball is right by the table. So no it is not an Illinois thing, it is a common sense thing. And the ball can be placed on the floor, but if you have cheerleaders that is not practical a good portion of the time. So no it has nothing to do with my state, it has to do with common sense. And because someone does not do that to the letter, I would not call that a mistake. Mechanics are recommendation, not absolutes in all situations.
