"Greymule is correct . . . a pitcher can step off any time during the movement that we call a stretch, from your post I cannot for the life me figger out why you want a balk on this."

Fed 6.1.3 clearly states the following"

He shall go to the set position without interuption and in one continuous motion"

In my game, the pitcher stretched his arm above his head and then stepped off with his pivot foot before coming to a pause. According to to Fed 6.1.3 he must come to a pause in one continuous motion without interuption. If he steps off the rubber before he pauses, it seems to me that this tactic could be defined as a non-continous, interupted act.

Maybe I am not understanding what 6.1.3 means when it says ,"He shall go to the set position without interuption and in one continuous motion".
