Up here in the great state of Maine we are all ASA softball umpires.
The Maine Principal Association (MPA) contracts the ASA umpires to due their Federation high school softball games. We all wear ASA uniforms while doing Federation games. Acutally turns out to be a good deal for the umpires as we only need to register for ASA and get to do Federation ball.

Better make sure that you are covered by insurance when you are out there, because I highly doubt that ASA's insurance will cover you when you are doing, technically, an unsactioned event. At the same time, I know that NFHS insurance won't cover you, as they have never heard of you since you don't register through them.
Then there is always the issue of rules differences!

This is a good point. Not many HS teams register with ASA. Now, if all the players are registered, the only folks who need to register are those running the program to get the games sanctioned.
