When does the clock start? (NF)

This is where you're confused.

We aren't talking about STOPPING the clock. We're talkling about STARTING it.

Since you DO NOT award a new series to either team, the clock STARTS on the ready.

Had you awarded a new series it would START on the SNAP, but WE DID NOT AWARD A NEW SERIES.

It's that simple.
