Silverfox: Welcome to the TDA Forum!!
My question back to you would be? If only chips that are released across the line "count", why have the line at all? In my opinion, most of the problems with the "line" are due to inconsistent enforcement by dealers. I am of the opinion the 'line' creates as many or more problems than it solves. That said, you can always order your layouts with the line, try them out and if they don't work, just ignore them.
