Of course, there can't be any "right" answer here since this is a made up rule. It isn't going to conform with any standard rule or interpretation in the ASA rule book (unless this league has already anticipated such a play and written something to cover it, which I doubt).
I guess that I would:
- Call time once the pitcher had the ball (just because that's what their rule says you have to do).
- Ignore everything else that happened after that point...UNLESS it's an appeal for leaving early on the catch. Then I have an out.
If anybody complains, I'll invite them to file a protest with the league. Let them sort it out...and, hopefully, see the absurdity of their imaginary, made up rule.
