Line of Scrimmage Rules?

[HLin NC]

I don't have a rulebook. How do I get access to one?

My spider senses are tingling!

lets not confuse ourselfs. I've already learned a lot here in my short time. I'm understanding the well-explained answers. May be my question wasn't clear enough. I understand eligibilty of receivers. I'm wanting to know if you have to have a body part physically touching the line to be considered "on the line". I'm borrowing a rule book by the way and will read it cover to cover and ask more questions after that. I've got out on the playing field a couple times and reffed and learned loads out there. I'm just soaking up knowledge anyway I can in the mean time.

If you read the rulebook cover to cover, then you would know what the definition of being on the line of scrimmage is as there is no such reference to touching the line. And if you are having a hard time visualizing the words, that is why you get the Simplified and Illustrated book so you can physically see examples of what the rules are saying and what they mean. And your questions are so elementary that something must not be sinking in yet if these are the nature of the questions you are asking. We have all been there and which is why these other tools I am suggesting might help you in the long run.

Peace

I have not yet read the rule book. Would you like to direct me to the simplified and illustrated book on nfhs website. I can't seem to find it. Thank You.

And I would recommend the Rules by Topic book as the information puts the Rules and Casebook plays together. Good resource.
