REPLY: Just remember that any rules that say a team must satisfy some requirement "at the snap" (e.g. motion, shift, formation, numbering) means that you cannot determine whether or not they've complied until the snap actually occurs. As irefky said, they could always correct the situation...or they could call a TO to regroup. The foul occurs simultaneously with the snap. As a result, penalties for such fouls are enforced from the previous spot.
