Which of the following actions communicates 'Information Available' by tapping on the body?

• A. Tapping two times over left chest (heart).
• B. Removing his cap and dropping it on the ground.
• C. Waving to partner and shouting.
• D. Pointing to his head with his index finger.

Answer: (A)

In this signaling system, tapping a specific body area conveys a coded message without verbalizing it. Tapping twice over the left chest is the designated cue for “information available,” meaning the player has information to share with a partner and wants it to be reviewed or considered quietly. It’s a discreet, quick signal that the other person recognizes and responds to.

The other actions don’t fit that exact code. Removing the cap and dropping it on the ground isn’t part of the coded signals and can be misread or seem like a delay. Waving to a partner and shouting is loud and obvious, which defeats the purpose of a discreet signal. Pointing to the head communicates thinking or attention, not specifically that information is available to share.
