I request my wingmen to use their foot closest to the line-to-gain as the forward progress spot. Keep both feet together. Verbally acknowledge to the umpire that you have the spot, also, verbally acknowledge if you feel the other wing has the spot.
The umpire must turn and face the wing who's spot he is taking and line up the spot before putting the ball down. This came from experience with an official who had a back problem. This umpire placed the ball while facing the offense. The ball often ended up a yard off the wingman's spot.
The wingman silently indicates minor movements by placing his arm across his body with his hand facing the direction of the line-to-gain. He then uses his hand to indicate which direction to move the ball, if necessary.
