I disagree Rich. An umpire needs to know nothing about the minimum play rule. An umpire only needs to know how to take a protest.
Unless the umpire is actually keeping track of substitutions at the little league level.... And I would find that hard to believe.

It depends on which rules are in effect.
In Little League (and the teen divisions Junior League and Senior League), a playing time violation is handled via protest, and the protest has to be made to the umpires before they leave the field.
And although some of you don't give a RA, others do.
