R's -- keeping track of TO's on the fly

[PA-28-181]

I have 3 down indicator's, one on my left hand for the down. Two on my right hand for each team's TO's. Start all on thumb than 1st and middle for home, little and 3rd for visitor's.
For home team 1st T.O. index finger, 2nd T.O. middle, 3rd both. I know it might be strange but it works for me.

It takes that long to pull the card out of the pocket and glance at it???

This sounds strangely familiar. Hmmmmm???

R's: How do you keep track of TOs on the fly?

[Texas Aggie]

Same request, different group of R's.

Mike, you can get the card out of the wallet, look at it, put it back, all while lowering your hands from signaling a TO and the direction of a team?

[TXMike]

No But I can signal to stop the clock (assuming my crewmates have not done so already), pull the card, see the #, put the card back, face the pressbox, hit the mike switch, signal TO, point to calling team and announce "Timeout by Jefferson, that is their 2d charged timeout" in 5 seconds. Is that too long???
