Offensive Team Requirements—At the Snap
ARTICLE 4. Violation of each of the following (a-c) is a live-ball foul; the
play is allowed to continue.
a. Formation. At the snap Team A must be in a formation that meets these
requirements:
1. All players must be inbounds.
2. All players must be either linemen or backs (Rule 2-27-4, A.R. 7-1-
4-VIII).
3. At least five linemen must wear jerseys numbered 50 through 79
(Exception: When the snap is from a scrimmage kick formation,
par. 5 below.)
4. No more than four players may be backs.
5. In a scrimmage kick formation at the snap (Rule 2-16-10) Team A
may have fewer than five linemen numbered 50-79, subject to the
following conditions:
RULE 7 / SNAPPING AND PASSING THE BALL FR-73
(a) Any and all linemen not numbered 50-79 who are ineligible
receiver(s) by position become exceptions to the numbering rule
when the snapper is established.
(b) Any and all such numbering-exception players must be on the
line and may not be on the end of the line. Otherwise, Team A
commits a foul for an illegal formation.
(c) Any and all such players are exceptions to the numbering rule
throughout the down and remain ineligible receivers unless they
become eligible under Rule 7-3-5 (forward pass touched by an
official or a Team B player).
The conditions in 5(a)–5(c) are no longer in effect if prior to the
snap a period ends or there is a timeout charged to the referee or
one of the teams.
b. Man in Motion.
1. One back may be in motion, but he may not be moving toward his
opponent’s goal line.
2. The player who goes in motion may not start from the line of
scrimmage unless he first becomes a back and comes to a complete
stop.
3. A player in motion at the snap must have satisfied the one-second
rule—i.e., he may not start his motion before any shift has ended
(Rule 2-22-1-c).
c. Illegal Shift. At the snap, Team A may not execute an illegal shift (Rule
7-1-2-a). (A.R. 7-1-3-I-II).
PENALTY [a-c]—Live-ball foul: Five yards from the previous spot [S19
or S20]. For live-ball fouls occurring when or after the snap
starts during scrimmage kick plays other than field goal
plays: Five yards from the previous spot or five yards from
the spot where the subsequent dead ball belongs to Team B
[S19 or S20].
