The outermost person on each side of the line is eligible. All others are ineligible by position and at least 5 of these playere are required and shall be in an unbroken line. Each line player must be wearing the appropriately numbered shirt, which is 40 through 69 for ineligible and others for eligible. To play a position other than what your number says you are, you must report.
In Canada, we do have a "tackle eligible" as well as a "center eligible" possibility. Even "guard eligible" though I rarely see it.
