One other question that just jumped into my mind.

If no play is being made on the runner, then the ball stays live until a play is made or action stops. Awards (if any) are then made.
The mechanic on obstruction is a bit confusing, especially with an awarded base. Say for example there is a close play on an obstructed runner, but you clearly have them out. What are the mechanics on this? Do you signal safe? Or do you signal out, then award the base based upon the previous obstruction?

As an example, let's say we have this scenario. R1 has a big lead at first. F1 senses the impending attempt to steal, and (legally) throws to F2. R1, realizing he won't make it, advances toward second. R1 is then caught in a rundown. During his movement back-and-forth between first and second, F2 obstructs with R1. R1 then a) is tagged, b) makes it safely to second, c) makes it safely back to first. At the obstruction, you verbalize ("Obstruction!"), and play continues. Finally, play ends. In the case of a tag, do you then signal out, then award a base? Which base?
