FYI: other head refs may have different systems for this, but the way I normally communicate fouls to the game announcer is to quickly hand them a piece of paper with the rule number, penalty (foul, deactivation, etc.) and the team and alliance who did it. He checks those numbers against a "cheat sheet" with a one-line description of each rule. I've heard plenty of cases where a foul was correctly called during the game, but the game announcer misses some nuance of a rule when announcing it to the crowd. When I hear this, I try to let the game announcer know for next time.
It would be nice if I could spend time discussing each foul in detail with the announcer, but the flow of the tournament usually doesn't allow for this.
