Our Mechanic (Louisiana):
5-man: The Referee is positioned 2-3 yards behind the kicker and 5-7 yards wide on the kicking foot side of the field, in a position to look at approximately a 45 degree angle to the position where the kick will be made, so that the referee can see the snap and entire play in front of him. The referee should step forward as the kicker begins his kicking motion.
4-man: The Referee should be on the Line Judges side of the field. Be alert for action on and around the kicker, then clean up behind the kick action while drifting down field, opposite the side of the Umpire.
