Having dashed all that, turns out, American Sign Language is OK if your driver can see the coach. Sometimes not, so the alternate is to do this:

Driver: Shake head, ready for score.
Coach: tap left for tens, right for ones. Head tap you are down points no tap, you are up. We did delta's to make it easier, you can do actual points if you want.

You can create your own signals, maybe 1 tap is 5 points. Or tap right for points ahead, left for points down.

PRO TIP: Delivering points details and SMACKING THE DRIVER because they are down are two different things.

Good luck!
This is actually a great idea. Maybe that's why we'll have 6 drive team members...
