Counting board pacing - illegal?

Are there any rules that prohibit your counter in the 500/1000/1650 from doing board movements to let you know where you are in your pace strategy?

  • I'd say using the counting numbers for anything other than the intent (the lap#) is wrong. I'd hate for them to come out and say that you can't use a counter at all... When we did 400s the other day, I kept losing track, anything over a 200 and I kind of just zone out. I have made some agreements with counters in the past to move towards the left or right side of the lane, based on my pace (to speed/slow), and in the true essence even those are probably wrong.
