Iowa's was 3 offense and 3 defense, because I remember the defense having to pass the ball to their offensive players across the division line. I'll look up the date on 6-on-6's creation to make sure, but then again, I could be wrong.
Yes, Ref Ump, you are indeed correct. You will see another thread concerning the "second" intent of the division line.
