Obviously you can't please all of the people all of the time, so those people that have different views, whether it be about winning, playing for a "geographic" national championship or whatever, will form their own groups to satisfy their own needs.
While not perfect, I think ASA still does a good job at keeping the closest thing resembling a true national championship at all levels of play? I do not necessarily agree with everyone in ASA all the time, but I do believe they are trying to change with the times without abandoning the tried and true loyal members.

What you are referring to is handled by ASA and known as "B" ball as opposed to JO Gold or A ball which is probably a majority of "travel ball" teams.
