Yes...
The 5 man mechanics we use have the R and U deep near R's end zone on opposite sidelines. This is according to the California Official's Mechanics manual for 2003 written by John Pemberton.
However, our association here in Hawaii is also authorized to use the old formation where the R and B are deep, HL and LJ are on the 40 and 50 respectively, and the U is with the kicker.
For varsity and JV we use 6 man, so the only time we see 5 man is in Pop Warner.
