Check out FED case play 8.3.2A
In FED, as I mentioned the runner whether returning to or advance from gets a MINIMUM of a one base award from his position at the time of OBS.
Another example:
F1 attempts a pickoff of R1. R1 is obstructed by F3 while trying to dive back into first base.
Even though R1 had no intention of going to second he is awarded second base. BTW this would be the same outcome in OBR (Type A OBS)
In order to better undertsand FED OBS I recommend you read the case plays.

My whole point is the problem I have with the statement, "If the runner achieves the base he was attempting to acquire, then the obstruction is ignored." Apparently when returning, what I hear you saying, this is superceded by the one base award provision.
