The only rule set that I'm aware of that has a different criterion on when the batter fails to run out an uncaught third strike is straight OBR (pro baseball). There, the batter is called out when he clearly shows no effort to run to first and leaves the dirt circle around home plate before being tagged.

Otherwise, all of the other rule sets I'm familiar with makes DBT the point of no return.
