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.
