I believe this is a live ball foul for illegal participation because all 12 defensive players are participating in the snap. My fellow officials disagreed. They believed that the play should be blown dead when the snap becomes imminent.

Canadian Ruling:
Legal Play!
But seriously, on plays where either the offense or defense have too many men (13 in Canada) we always allow the play to stand and then we have a 10 yard penalty enforced from the previous spot.
