![]() The general rule is, unless there is a violation, the R1 or R2 should not be signaling anything unless it is pertinent to the match in order to communicate with each other, players or coaches. ![]() If there was a “touch” by the blocker(s), no signal would be shown. More referees tend to use the four hits signal versus the touch signal when working with line judges, who are primarily responsible for identifying touches. The R1 may also ask the R2 to use a discreet touch signal in front of the chest to indicate the blocking team did, indeed, make a contact and negate the four-hits violation. Other informal signals may also include head nods (yes and no), identifying back-row player violations (by arm diagonally across midsection or pointing to attack line), illegal hits out of the view of the first referee (palm up and slightly raise arm or two fingers indicating double) and down balls, especially on pancakes. To indicate a fourth contact without an intervening block, the R1 may ask the R2 during the pre-match discussion to use four fingers on the opposite shoulder.
