Back when we (IAABO) were using one hand reporting we were told not to report with our hand in front of our body but to keep the hand slightly off to one side, to supposedly make it easier for the scorekeeper to observe.

Of course, with two hand reporting, that no longer applies.

I get the feeling that IAABO is more anal about consistent signals than most, if not all, non-IAABO organizations. Might have something to do with IAABO being an educational organization as much as an assigning organization.

And as usual, when in Rome, check your local listing, and different is not necessarily better, or worse, just different.
