10 or 15 yards ?
Illegal formations are the 5 yard variety.

The pitcher must be in the circle, the catcher must be behind the plate, and that's it - the other 7 can be standing on 1st base.
I believe there is such a rule in PONY- was at a rec all-star tourney back in 10u in which the ump said OF had to be outside the IF(tourney and inter-town league used PONY rules) Only time I ever heard of that or saw the situaion come up

Other than the catcher, the only geographical restrictions on the other players is that they be completely within fair territory at the time of the pitch.
... maybe for the King And His Court ... Otherwise, prior to starting the delivery, the pitcher needs to be in contact with the pitchers plate.
