According to AACCA pyramid rule # 2

In all pyramids, there must be at least two spotters designated for each person who is above two persons high and whose primary support does not have at least one foot on the ground. Both spotters must be in position as the top person is loading onto the pyramid. One spotter must be in the back and the other must be at front of the pyramid or at the side of the pyramid in position to get to the front. Once the pyramid shows adequate stability and just prior to the dismount, this spotter can move to the back to catch the cradle.

My question is
In a 2-2-1 and swedish falls, do you need additional spotters on top of the group that throws the flyer to that structure? They are remaining under her and then catch her. This is legal right?
 
As long as you're not tossing her up from the front (i.e. all your spotters are in front) or from the back (same thing). If it's straight up the middle, then those spotters are fine. If it's not up between the two mid bases then you would need to put another spot on it.
