Not anymore, if you go by the book. This was posted on the USA Softball website for the 2017 Rule Changes:

Comment: Better defines when the time limit begins.
I do like it when tournament directors use when the plate conference ends as the start time. As mentioned above, it does make the home team come out and take the field a little quicker. I'm not sure if USA Softball HQ is going to tell tournament directors to go with the official rule.
