The shoulder turn is specifically listed as a balk in FED. There is no mention of shoulder turn in OBR. What is discussed is a "feint". One has to decide if the shoulder turn resembled a feint or not. Remember also that pitching regulations come into effect at different times under the two codes.
I believe umpires do a disservice to the players when they do not enforce the rules during the regular season that are enforced at play-off time. I've seen coaches come home from play-offs just steaming because their pitchers got nailed for balks that weren't enforced at the local level.
