Title: Kick Off Alignment
Post by: AllIn21 on October 26, 2020, 09:05:05 pm
Is there a set kick off alignment? I was watching film and saw a team that set the ball on one hash and had 6 players one side of the ball with 4 on the other. I was under the impression that there had to be 5 on one side and 5 on the other with the kicker/ball in the middle.

Spread out evenly across the field. Ball can be on the hash with 4 on one side and 6 on the other.

Markovics8 is correct - you can kick from the hash with only 4 on one side (that is the minimum)
only rule INFC has is that they have to be evenly spaced out across the field - so no bunching up.
