I seem to recall a rule that prevents the use of headsets or other electronic means of comunicating within the player area of the field. I know it was there last year because I looked. Maybe Joe Ross knows what rule it is?

However, you can recieve instruction from the stands or other places that spectators are allowed if it is in the form of signs, hand signals or other visual signals.

For example, if you were trying to pick up a big ball and your team saw that you needed to get closer before the attempt. They could all raise their hands and point in the direction you should move. They could also give you a "stop" sign when you were far enough in.

Signs with words on them are also acceptable (as long as the words are). Of course the difficulty of changing your focus back and forth may make this useless. But there were teams doing this sort of thing last year.
