The plays are numbered (1 - 90 if you use three cards in the wristband) and they written out without the formations usually. The coach on the sideline will signal in the group (2 or 3 wide receivers for example) and then signal in the number of the play. The QB will look at his wristband card and then read the play right off the card. For example, the coach signal in the formation "Far Right" and the play number "7". The QB gets to the huddle, Calls the formation Far Right and reads the play "866 Backs Flat Queen.". On the wrist band, it just reads "7) 866 Backs Flat Queen" so you can get a lot of plays on the wrist band, especially when you are signaling the formations.
