Yes, we use 7-man for CIS crews.
Even in 5-man, when there's a RFM could you not do this:
- LJ has crowd control
- HL tags the chain with a clip
- HL goes to the front stick
- Back stick picks up the clip
- Two stick guys run to the place of measure
- BJ takes the clip and holds it to the line on the ground
- U takes the front stick, places it down for decision by R
- R makes 50% of people happy
Seems simple to me. Wouldn't that work?

While I agree with you, there was a situation posted on Refstripes about the case I mentioned. For a measurement, the crew moved the box to mirror the front stick when there was a pending penalty application. We're usually smarter than this, but this gotcha creeped into that crew that day.
