At 12U and up, or HS, not only SHOULD they know... but they WILL know - I've yet to have BOO occur in a game like this.

Once they are 12, they will not let the at bat go.

Had my first non-HS/MS game of the season today and it was a 12/U game. The league uses a maximum runs per inning rule. 4 consecutive half innings ended with the run limit being reached on a passed ball while the batter was still at bat. Twice, there was an issue of which batter was supposed to be at bat to start the inning. At 12/U they still are not sure, at least not in this league.

Slightly off topic. Why is softball so strict about unreported subs and baseball does not care?

You would have to ask baseball. Maintaining an up-to-the-second accurate line-up card eases any questions or protests as it would pertain to the official line up.

Beside, people cheat

When I notice one, in baseball, I don't allow it. I can't notice all of them, but I can't help that.
