As to the OBS vs. CTR rule, the application of not being put out between the bases where the OBS occurs would seem to apply to the attempts by the defense to put out the runner. In the example,
"BR ... snip ... rounds 1B, collides with F3, ... snip ... The ball goes back to F1 in the circle. BR, stationary, then retreats toward 1B and reverses direction or stops again"; I would say the CTR supersedes because the defense has stopped trying for a put out. The ball was in F1's possession before retreat to 1st, let alone the change of direction; so a clear example of the CTR intent.

I would love to see a citation for that one
