I don't ask for a speaking captain, but those that do take 3-1-1 quite literally.
2-7-1: The officials shall conduct the game in accordance with the rules. This includes: Notifying the captains when play is about to begin at the start of the game.
3-1-1: Each team consists of five players,
one of whom is the captain.
3-1-2: The captain is the representative of his/her team and may address an official on matters of interpretation or to obtain essential information, if it is done in a courteous manner.
If the official doesn't know who the "real" captain is, who will he notify that the game is about to begin? Who will the officials discuss matters of interpretation with, or obtain essential information from?
I've heard two follow up questions to, "Who's the speaking captain": "What's your number?", and, "Are you starting?".
And everybody be sure to tell everybody that, "It's the blue line all the way around".
