I'll bet few (or maybe even none) exactly followed the rest of the ASA timed game rule, either. These rules are frequently adjusted by TDs / leagues.
Personally, I find the "time of the first pitch" to be an unusable point in time if the PU is also the timekeeper. I use "batter up" as a reasonably close, but usable, point, unless end of the plate meeting is specified.
