			Everyone I see working upper level games in the KS area raise the hand on the first try.   Often times, there is a sub, so the official checks the table and if subs, already has the hand up to communicate this to the administering official.
 I will say, though, that I've never had an evaluator tell me what to do one way or the other - yet.
 
 The replies here make a lot of sense, though.   I'll have to check into this with some vets in the area.
