Test question
 
I know this is long. After discussing with several people we keep getting conflicting answers.



Following their touchdown, team A lines up in a swinging gate for the try. #80 takes the
position of a snapper with his hand(s) on the ball in the center of the field while #5 and #10 take
the normal position of a holder and a kicker establishing a scrimmage kick formation. There are
5 offensive teammates numbered 50-79 lined up to #80’s left near the numbers on the field and
legally on their line of scrimmage plus #85 on the left end of the line of scrimmage. #22 and
#25 are lined up as backs also to the left near the field numbers. Following the ready, the 8
offensive players near the field numbers legally shift much closer to the center of the field but
all 8 are still to the left of #80, #5 and #10 and legally set. Holder #5 has his knee(s) on the
ground and #10 is in position to kick. Prior to the snap, #10 goes in legal motion straight to his
right away from the rest of his teammates and after several steps, the ball is snapped directly to
the holder. #80, #22, #25 and #10 then go directly into B’s end zone as #5 rises and reverses out
to his right looking for 1 of these 4 eligible receivers. He does throw a legal, forward pass to
#80 who catches the pass for a successful 2 point try. This is in fact a legal and successful try.

True or False???

If there's nobody in position to place kick it, holding the ball with your knee on the ground makes it dead. Scrimmage kick formation's having been "established" previously doesn't supersede that fact. So how is this even hard? The try ends with no score.
