Under FED Rules there exists a numbering exception for scrimmage kick formations. Under that exception there is no requirement to have 5 linemen numbers (50-79) on the line of scrimmage. Any player who is positioned on the line of scrimmage under this numbering exception remains ineligible throughout the down.
20....30.......40..88..25.......35....45
...80..............................85
................10....15
Under FED Rules, once a team sets in this formation Nos. 30, 40, 88, 25 and 35 are and will remain ineligible because they're in the game under the numbering exception. No amount of shifts or other movements will make them eligible receivers. (At least one of the players, No 10 or 15, must be 7 yards deep to make this a legal scrimmage kick formation)
