6. Count players on LOS on my side of snapper and signal to L.

How do you signal? I have been trying to get the officials in my association to do a top of hat(2 players on my side of the center), bill (3), cheek (4). ANy suggestions?

This is such a nonstandardized set of signals. When I have heard of those signals being used the hand to the top of the hat was for 4 and 2 was a hand on the chest.
Since the standard, balanced formation has three players on the LOS on both sides of the snapper we use a hand to the bill of the cap as the signal for three. For anything different we stick our hand straight up in the air and hold up that many fingers. So if one guy's hand is in the air, odds are that the other's will be as well. Then 2 goes with 4 and 1 goes with 5. We have had a lot of 2 and 4 this season and have even had a few plays of 1 and 5. This doesn't really work with the swinging gate because 0 and 6 could be a difficult signal unless you put both hands to the cap, 3 and 3, while the other side shows a fist.
