I would like to add that the throw must beat the runner at 1st base only. All other bases, the runner must beat the throw / tag. (at work, and don't have my rule books to quote)

It has become common practice at all levels (90' diamond) to adopt the runner must beat the throw/tag at ALL bases.

If you don't CLEARLY see that the runner beat the throw/tag, OUT.
