Illegal Formation or Illegal participation?

[Bob Lyle]

If this is supposed to be a penalty, my crew is missing a whole lot of penalties. In any high school football that I've done, this is legal. Unless you're officating FED games that are a whole lot different from the ones I do, there are at least 10 plays a game where a player runs onto the field in confusion after everyone else is in the huddle and the ready for play has been given. It's even worse in JV and freshman football where they are still learning the game.
