We have a mechanics committee who looked at what the book recommends, what other orgs recommended, etc. and has adopted the following...
In all 3 situations the I'm referring to players who are on the LOS.
1) 3 players between you and Snapper on LOS - hand on belt buckle
2) 2 players between you and snapper on LOS - "roll away" same signal as false start
3) 4 players between you and snapper on LOS - "roll to" same signal as false start except roll opposite way (toward you)
Same as #2) when only 1 player between you and snapper we'll roll away and put up the #1. We rarely see that.
Always punch back when closest player is off the line.
Some officials aren't exactly in love with these recommended mechanics but they work well especially for newer guys. Part of the logic was the signal was much more visible to the entire crew and is easier to see from across the field.
