So what is the preferred method FED/NCAA?

I have never had a problem by saying "1, 3" or "1, 4." The only problem I have ever had was the scorer got the colors wrong when I had two 45s guarding each other and the scorer had one of them foul out improperly. But I have never had a problem with the scorers ever figuring out what that meant or never assumed that "1, 3" mean "4" or some other number.

BTW, the NF or the NCAA has never addressed this in their literature as far as I know. It seems like they both leave this up to supervisors and clinics to teach the way it should be.
