We release our line judge as soon as the ball is snapped so I would hope he would at least get a decent look.

In our association BJ lines up slightly behind the deepest returner(s) 3-5 ydsThe LJ lines up even with the returner on his sideline. HL has sole responsibility for LOS and wether the kick crosses NZ

Our Mechanic if the LOS is the 40yd line or less going in we both lineup at the pylons. Havent had any close bouncers by the pylon in 3 years but based on our mechanic it seems we are in good position to make an accurate ruling.
