(A) R1 stops, goes back to 1st.
(B) R1 makes it to 2nd on her own.

In (A), R1 is awarded 2nd, but what about (B)?
9.4.2.4 EFFECT - ...The awards shall be to the base beyond the base she would have reached had obstruction not occurred unless the runners safely advance further on their own, in which case no award is given.
