I have to disagree, Mike. This is penalized under the All But One. Mark off from the basic spot.
9-4-1 is marked off from the previous spot. 9-4-2,3,4 are penalized under All But One.

I must disagree with your disagreement
Isn't illegal participation where twelve players are in the formation at the snap a foul simultaneous with the snap according to the case book? If it is a foul simultaneous with the snap, then it is enforced from the previous spot if accepted.
It makes sense to penalize this when twelve players are in the formation because how do we determine who wasn't supposed to be on the field and who illegally participated?
