I meant to do that with my last post, but got sidetracked....

I, too, have seen some officials ask the captains if they were ready prior to resuming play. I started to do that, but soon realized that getting the captains attention was more often than not difficult. I noticed that quite a few of the captains around here were setters and they were busy calling a play, or encouraging their teammates, or otherwise preparing for the next play.

So now, I just scan the court and make sure that all players appear ready for play and my partner is ready, say something like, "Here we go" and signal for service. No evaluator or assignor has ever said anything to me one way or the other regarding this issue.
