Re: signal from stands?

Your Commander will undoubtedly be able to see the real-time scoring display on the screen (if there is one). He can also take a pretty good visual estimate.

I'm with Al. I know that in the past, this has been expressly disallowed. And, if I see signaling from the stands (and especially if it's followed), someone will be having a little chat with the team in question.

<T23> (and <T22>)individually doesn't ban anything of this nature. However, taken as a whole, you can see that it would ban this.
Quote:
<T22> The only equipment that may be brought on to the field is the OPERATOR CONSOLE, reasonable decorative items, and special clothing and/or equipment required due to a disability. Other items, particularly those intended to provide a competitive advantage for the TEAM, are prohibited.
<T23> Devices used solely for the purpose of planning or tracking strategy of game play are allowed inside the ALLIANCE BASE, if they meet ALL of the following conditions:
􀂃Do not connect or attach to the OPERATOR CONSOLE
􀂃Do not connect or attach to the FIELD or ARENA
􀂃Do not connect or attach to another ALLIANCE member
􀂃Do not communicate with anything or anyone outside of the ARENA.
􀂃Do no include any form of wireless electronic communication (e.g. radios, walkie-talkies, cell phones, Bluetooth communications, WiFi, etc.)
􀂃Do not in any way affect the outcome of a MATCH, other than by allowing team members to plan or track strategy for the purposes of communication of that strategy to other alliance members.
This, along with <G37> would allow the refs to put a stop to any signaling.
