There is no magic moment. The only requirement is that the umpire judges all play complete. Yes, some call it early and in many cases may actually be doing the team a favor in preventing the from doing something stupid.
Personally, I believe FP should use the same rule. Ball gets to the pitcher in the circle and all runners have stopped, just kill the play. For all intent, nothing can happen once this occurs now as long as the runner returns or advances to the base. I know this will be viewed as sacriligious by the FP purist, but there is too much BS on the base paths as it is.
To me, it would improve the game.
