Pitchers not pausing with hands seperated.

Watched a few of the LL world series softball games on TV and while I dont know what the LL pitching rules are, every one of the pitchers I saw would be illegal with the hands in ASA and FED.

Anyone else seen a major increase in this happening over the past year or so? For what ever reason, it seams alot of pitchers have started taking the signal back in the circle then stepping on and immediately bringing the hands together. Don't know why this seems to becoming the standard technique, but if they would just take the signal on the pitching plate there wouldnt be any problems.
