illegal moves and clock rules

I had never read Rule 4.1 before.

4.1 MISHANDLING DICE. A player shall not touch or pick up the dice until the opponent hits the clock to complete his turn. A player who prematurely picks up the dice forfeits his per move deductible for his next checker play. The player on turn stops both clocks and summons the Director to claim the time penalty, unless both players agree to accept it. The penalized player must wait until his deductible has counted down to zero before rolling his dice.

Sounds like a real nuisance, not to mention being a little unfair to players new to clock rules. We should be trying to encourage people to try clocks, not discourage it.
