My ?'s:
Is there a point where the runner is called out for not advancing to firstbase? Or must he be retired by tag or throw to firstbase?

In Baseball, the runner can stand there, or retreat up until s/he touches or passes the plate. Then s/he's called out.
In softball (I've been led to believe) the runner is out when s/he begins to retreat.
