There is nothing new here.
You are looking for something that does not exist and to the best of my knowledge, never has.
Check for the definition of basepath, then the rule concerning being out of the basepath and the conditions when that rule is in effect. Even then, the rules still do not dictate where a runner may go, just what cannot be done to avoid a tag.
