Is there differences in appeal plays based on division (FED, NCAA, OBR)?

1. FED allows a dead-ball appeal. Coach (or player) says, "he left early." We rule on it.

2. AFAIK, FED is alone in allowing the dead-ball appeal. OBR requires a live-ball appeal (tag base or runner and, if it's not obvious, state why).
