You don't "NEED" to call time, but it is necessary that runners not be permitted to advance or defense attempt to play on a runner during this period as the umpires are involved in part of their duties that takes there attention away from a possible play.
As far as the U3K, that is a touch situation, but you've seen my opinion of that.
