Umpire Signals

a)  signals must be clear and held up long enough to ensure that all players and the other umpire are aware of decisions

b)  only the official signals must be used

c)  it is preferable to be stationary when giving a signal

d)  directional signals must not be made across the body

e)  it is bad practice to look away from the players when a signal or decision is made; further offences might be missed, concentration can be lost, or this can indicate a lack of confidence.
