On the snap, or on the ready??

Third and 20 at the 50. A2 takes the snap, scrambles, and throws an interception to B3 who is tackled in bounds. B2 had roughed the passer A2. A accepts the penalty. Ruling: First and 10 for A at B's 35. Clock starts on the 'ready'.

I say FALSE, the clock starts on the snap since according to 3-4-3b: The clock shall start with the snap....if the clock was stopped because B is awarded a new series.

One of the senior officials stated that the National Federation interpretation is that the clock will start on the ready because B is not really awarded a new series. I of course disagree, and wanted to get the opinion of the 'community'.
