In ASA (and in Fed, too, I'm sure), if a runner leaves 2B too soon on a fly to the outfield, and the throw comes in to F4, and as F4 walks in toward the pitcher, he happens to step on 2B without appealing to the umpire, the umpire does NOT call the runner out. The defense must appeal to the umpire that the runner left too soon.
Of course, if the runner's leaving too soon was obvious and everybody in the park knows the play is an appeal, nobody has to verbalize anything to the umpire.
