Timing of Score - No Tag Up

[marvin]

The CCA softball umpires manual (college softball) does have the timing play signal in the section on umpires to umpire signals.

The reasoning:

"This alerts all umpires to the possibility of a time play and verifies that all umpires are aware that there are two outs."

I remember years ago this signal being taught in ASA umpire clinics (but I have not done ASA softball recently).

The OP only has one out though. Who would ever need to use this signal with one out?? It wouldn't bother me with two but I am generally aware of the count and the outs.
Partner or me in C always reminds to check for IFF. If Runners on 1st and 2nd advance on WP or PB. I wipe it just to remind my partner. Unnecessary but just making sure.
