To second the statement, under Sec. 10.11 "SITE Restrictions" it says "Do not use noisy devices, such as floor stompers, whistles, or air horns." Which implies that the rules is, indeed, for the entire regional site.

That being said, the rules don't prohibit you from bringing signs, flags, or banners. They just ask that you don't use them to save seats and only hang them in your pit.

Also, I'll ask personally that you think about people that might be sitting in stands behind you.

So in closing, bring lots of sore throat drops and don't plan on giving any speeches the week after a competition.
