NC also has this interpretation. What do you think about it?
"If the receiver comes onto the field after the ready signal and sets outside the 9-yard marks, his going into motion during the cadence and moving inside the 9-yard marks DOES NOT bring him into compliance with Rule 7.2.1 and this would be an Illegal Formation penalty."
I assume this indicates the receiver does not reset inside the 9-yard marks after going in motion.

That sounds really wierd to me, that would be legal where I am.

It is legal as he got inside the 9 yard marks after the ready and before the snap. Just what the rule states.
Also to those who said the fields did not have the 9 yard marks, did they have the yard numbers painted on the field? If so, there is your 9 yard marks at the top of the numbers.
Oh and yes this is an illegal formation foul, not IP or IS.
