If I have room I have the chains at least a couple feet off the sideline. I never clip the goalline instead I have a member of the chain crew stand with a foot as a mark about 5 feet behind the box so if the box is taken out I have him to use.

Also, when I'm doing the box, I always clip the goaline. I dunno why, I just do it because the guy who taught me did it, and he does the chains for the pro team in town so he must know what he's doing.

It is in case the box gets moved/taken out, you have your previous spot. If you do clip the goal line then you have to reclip it after every down except an incomplete pass. Kind of a pain.
