We agree..

I hate this strict a rule and think that players should be nicely warned a couple times prior to any nuisance penalty. Off course the player touching the dice must forfeit his right to dispute what was rolled..which may be moot if kibs are present since they can be asked.

"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."

Change this rule please !
