Competing and Tournaments Kouchi while grabbing your own leg.

At a recent local tournament we had this situation, that was a little bit of a controversy. While Tori is not grabbing Ukes leg, in my opinion preventing the possibility of stepping back and thus defending the throw would still fall under blocking the leg. What's your opinion? Would you have given the score or shido?

This was cool. I will ask my Sensei(s) about it.

If i had to guess, most local tourneys will miss it completely or waive it off if noticed.

Yeah without the care system I'd also missed it completely.
