I learned this a long time ago during a jr. high game - coach asked about the other team's player playing more than the allowed number of quarters that night, and the player's coach agreed he had. My veteran partner said, well, that has to be a T, so we administered the T and away we went without any complaints. It wasn't until the next day did we find out that was outside our jurisdiction as game officials.

Each state has some sort of similar participation rules at various levels, and I can see where many officials would not be aware of how to handle those without previously coming across the situation.
