From the BRD:
SIGN TAKEN OFF PITCHER'S PLATE
FED: The pitcher must take his sign from the "catcher" while on the pitcher's plate. (6-1-1) PENALTY: Ball (no runners), Balk (with runners). (6-1-1 Penalty)
NCAA: Same as FED.
EXCEPT PENALTY: Ball. (7-5d) If the batter and all runners advance following a pitch from the illegal position (pivot foot not on the pitcher's plate), ignore the infraction. (9-2j Penalty).
OBR: The pitcher must take his sign while on the pitcher's plate. Penalty: None listed. (don't do that)
