If the offense does not occupy the 2 middle spots, defense can have them as well.

To my knowledge, it's been at least 9 years....I think.

MTD Sr: When did this change occur?

You're probably right. Time flies.....

It has not been that long. College went to that before NF and that might have been 5 years ago. The reason I kind of remember this is I had to create a slide for a class to illustrate the new rule at the time. Maybe 5 years they got rid of the lower block position.

I don't recall the spots being designated before the change.

For HS that is my recollection as well. I am willing to go research it though before I tell refiator that he is incorrect.

For NCAA mens the spots haven't been designated for several years now.
For NCAA womens making them undesignated is a rule change for this season!

Agreed. The only thing NF changed was which block was the "lowest" block. Everything from before just shifted up one spot. None of the others were specifically designated.
