Question:

Must Players line up exactly how the Pre-Jam Formation Diagram illustrates?

Answer:

Pivots should line-up directly behind the Pivot line and all other Blockers in two rows. However, strict adherence to the Pre-Jam Formation diagram is not vitally important–if a Blocker or Pivot is skating into their position, on the track between the Jammer and Pivot lines, no penalty should be given.
