Handlers are permitted to talk, praise, encourage, clap their hands, pat their legs, or use any verbal means of encouragement. Multiple commands or signals using one or both arms and hands are permitted; the handler’s arms need not be maintained in any position at any time.
Signs are placed to the handler’s right side, except for change in directions. The designated exercise should be performed in close proximity to the sign itself, either in front, back of, or beside the sign. However, exercises that utilize cones may require entry with the sign on the left.
