Until someone tells them the correct rule, they will continue to "officiate" that way.
the way to fix that is some combination of
  • not playing / coaching in those leagues
  • volunteering to train the officials in those leagues
  • contacting the league after the game to indicate the shortfalls

Mentioning it to the officials is not going to work.
