For those of us who do everything from CYO (7th/8th) through Jr. College we recognize that a called balk is different on different levels. At MLB you'll hear "technical balk" and at CYO "he's not deceiving the runner or batter....just screwed up so I'm warning him". I would suggest that when discussing different levels that rule interpretations be qualified. Thoughts?

You are correct that it is different in different rule sets and should be qualified in either the question or the answer.
Now, other than Fed and NCAA, most other youth organizations use some form of OBR.
