I raised my left arm for all fouls, and I have continued to do so.(still have a bad right shoulder)

...Approved mechanic pictures show the right arm goes up.
How do you get to the end of the tournament with mechanics like that?!!!! 
Being Left-handed, I struggled for a while, but I attribute the right-handed strike, and out, as the reason for my right arm being dominant on stop-clocks and fouls.
Reporting, directions, spots, timing and chops are pretty much ambi-handed.
Never go across the body with a direction signal, without kicking yourself in the behind.

mick,
It's a mystery isn't it?
After all of the strikes and outs that I've called, you'd think it would be easy.
I just can't get that arm up there for some reason. Luckily the "end of the tournament" people havn't noticed my handicap.
