I do a lot of little league (13 and under) and these crazy situations come up all the time, and i was just wondering the correct course of action. |
Yes, it's your job to find it, and to correct it. No other penalty.
If you discover it after a play, it's "not covered by rule" so you get to do what's right. I'd do something like let the offense keep any advantage, but nullify any play made by the defense.
