Is the ball truly dead immediately upon the 'tag'? What happens if there's other activity going on with the other runners ahead of this one?
Other than that this all makes sense...thanks

Don't care, the ball is dead if the defense executes a play which puts out the OBS runner. There are no alternatives, it is what it is by rule. You award the runners who were affected by the OBS the bases they would have achieved had the OBS not occurred. If there is a conflict, any awards are based off the OBS runner.
