But the limite of 3 feet is only to the left or to the right not backwards.
Following this theory, if there is a tag attempt the runner may not moves from home more than 3 feet? Is there a reference for the?
So when a runner misses home and the catcher has the ball and tries to tag him out the runner can go only toward the homebase and no more than 3 feet in all other directions, right?
Yes, could anyone answer this please?
In this case though, the attempt IS made, i.e. I think when the fielder moves toward the runner. Can the runner back away again or does the basepath end at the tag attempt point? So once the runner starts retreating, he's backed away from the basepath and is...
I know it, I mean the fielder moves toward then reaches the base and only then says appeal. But I read this.

Is appeal legal only if the fielder moves toward the missed base or the runner before the runner, who missed the base, does?
I mean if the runner moves first the fielder must to tag him but he cannot tag the base, right? So when the fielder just moves toward the base only in this case he can...
I have some doubts about appeal play.
1. When can appeal be made?
2. If there are two missed base can the fielder appeal for both runners in the same play? I mean a fielder throw ball to a base and says "appeal" then the ball Is thrown to an other fielder who touches the base and says the same...
We have this situation:
R3 runs towards home but he misses homeplate. He tries immediately to return to home and he moves towards home but the catcher tries to tag him out the the runner goes backwards 4ft from home to avoid the tag, is it legal? How is the basepath when the runner overrun...
The runner in outfield must move only in green directions but he may not move in red directions, right?
So the runner may not go in a direction between 2B and 1B, right?
other issue related to the skunk in outfield:
We have a runner in outfield.

I am satisfied with the answers. My problem is that we play without an umpire, we play only among friends and some situations some situations are absolutely unknown by us.
Thank you so much.
I mean if a runner is in outfield and he changes direction, to 1B and after changes to 2B and over and over, we have a zyg-zagging movement, but is this legit?
Legenda the red point is the runner and the blue point is the fielder with the ball chasing him.
