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.

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

I'm not sure there is a reason. Different sports, different rules.

Unreported batters are usually caught by the other team. It's when they're unreported when the team takes the field that they usually don't get noticed.
