I really hope what you guys meant, and I am sure you did but forgot to include it, is flag and kill when you count 12 and no one is heading off. If 12 is in the act of leaving the field, you let him go. If he leaves the field before the snap, he's ok. I'm pretty sure that is what you meant.

As for signs, we use thumbs up for 11, rolling fists for 12. This tells the HL and BJ that I counted 12, I am counting again and that they should let me know what they counted. Sometimes we make a mistake counting and it's nice to know someone else has 12 also. For 10, thumbs down.
