Narrative:

I crossed the hold short line for runway 18L at B2 intersection before clearance. We were told take B2 intersection to go ahead of traffic at B1 that wasn't ready for takeoff. I thought it was a 'position and hold' clearance but it wasn't. The controller cleared us into position and hold after we crossed the line close to the runway edge. There was no traffic conflict.
