The umpire rules R1 out on appeal.

yeah coz once you pass 2nd base you cant retreat to tag up in this scenario. so they would have to appeal the tagup at first?
so that would make my answer: false... wrong appeal.

Why not? There is no restriction in ASA concerning returning to touch any missed bases or bases left too soon unless they have already advanced to the next awarded base.

Not quite apples and oranges. Maybe more like oranges and tangerines.

As long as a trailing runner has not yet scored or the runner has not entered DBT, yes.

Don't forget, guys, the restriction on retreating after passing a base in ASA is on awarded bases, not bases in general.
