As for ASA it may be a rules supplement but it specifies this is the ball rotation procedure used in championship play. I have always been instructed at any clinic and national clinic to use the ASA ball rotation procedure in any ASA play.
I am fairly strict about ball rotation, even reminding coaches at pre-game not to allow spectators to throw a ball into the field (usually happens anyway because they don't tell them, until repeated out loud).
