We now have R2 on 2B with R1 also on 2B with the ball in the circle.
LBR not in effect because no runners are off a base. True or False?
The only way to resolve this is for the defense to make a play at 2B and tag R1. True or False?

Your original statement states that R3 starts on 1B, your initial action has R3 going to 2B, but you final situation has R2 on second and also R1 which started at 3B. What's up with that ?
Taking the chance that this is a typo and you actually have R2 and R3 on second after the pitch has been delivered and returned to the pitcher I want to ask the question as to why I can't invoke the LBR ? R3 has no right to the base and therefore cannot stay. LBR states that the runner must make an immediate decision as to advance or return after the ball has been returned to the pitcher. Since advancement is not possible she would have to return to first. No immediate decision I have an OUT ! I am not in the habit of giving away OUT's ! Or protecting the offense for stupidity. PS after this I also no longer have the IFR possible.
