If the snapper is in the game under this numbering exception, he must be between the ends and he remains ineligible throughout the down unless the pass is touched by B.
The snapper can be 1-49 or 80-99 on first, second or third down and be on the end of the line as long as their are five other players on the line numbered 50-79. In this scenario, he is not in the game under the numbering exception. It does not matter what formation is used.

If only four players are numbered 50-79, THEN the snapper must be between the ends and is ineligible, and the offense must be in a 2-14-2a scrimmage kick formation.
