Oh. I never thought of that.

In my mind I'd "rewritten" the rule to say only that a shift must end at least 1 sec. before the snap. I hadn't considered that just because a particular shift ended a given time before the snap doesn't mean all players were stationary for any particular portion of that time. I was thinking only about the second immediately before the snap, and failed to see that the failure to all be stationary for a second could require looking at an interval farther back in time.

There isn't one.

Until now I'd always thought people who didn't understand the pre-snap motion & shift rules were overcomplicating things in their minds, and that at least I could keep them straight. Now I wound up in their category!
