A single raised arm with open palm is the stop or "do not proceed yet" sign.

A point or thumbs up is the "good to go" sign.

Those are all things I see in my area from officials at every level....H.S. NAIA and NCAA.

While it isn't official and most don't use that signal....there are some around here that do exactly that....two hands up in front of them to indicated they have counted 10. I don't do it, but I've seen it done a few times a year. It is an incorrect mechanic and certainly far from clear and consistent.
