False start?

Rule is clear but the execution isn't. It can come down to a judgment call (often does) and it's your word vs. your opponent's.

IMO, a person shouldn't even be allowed to put his hand over the board (similar to the 'imaginary cylinder' goal tending rule in basketball) until the clock clicks. That way for sure the dice aren't touched until the opp's roll is complete.

It seems that the fast grab is in many ways parallel to the fast roll when two sets of dice are used (obviously clockless). It's a rule and yet a lot of people think it's OK to ignore the rule, particularly during non-contact bearoffs.
