You can't tell them how to play the game, but you'd think somebody at some point would tell them what to do.
Actually GM, speaking FED: there is a case play (8.3.3.B I think) that says that after waiting a sufficient period of time for a play to be made, the umpire should call TIME and declare the trailing runner out.
