Over here in the UK, I encourage my guys to use a coloured zip tie. I find bright yellow shows up best against green grass or against brown mud. If a zip tie gets dirty, they wipe clean easy whereas tape gets dirty and stays dirty.
As HL, I instruct my down box operator to help me out by telling me short (<5) or long (>5) that way I don't have to turn to look myself and I can keep my eyes where they belong - on the players. I'll pass that short/long info on to the White Hat/Umpire so they know.
Also keep a black zip tie inside the brow of my hat in case the chain breaks.
