In Fed, the ball is immediately dead. In OBR, if the pitcher delivers the pitch, if the pitch is is hit and put in play, the BR safely attains 1B and all other runners advance at least one base, the offensive coach can either take the result of the play or the balk award.

There is no choice on a balk. (Catcher's Int or Illegal Equipment ONLY)
If the batter obtains first and all runners advance one base from TOP, then the balk will be ignored and the play will stand. If not, runners get one base and the batter returns to the plate with the same count.
