OK, here's my two pesos worth. (ok, maybe 100 pesos).
I happen to have quite a few umpires who are also members of other associations. I do not ban them from ASA games. But, like Mike said, when tournament selections roll around, I do reward the loyal ones. That's not to say that if an umpire works for different associations, he/she won't get any tournament assignments. Just means that if two umpires are equally qualified, then the nod would fall on loyalty.
Besides, if I was to ban all umpires for working outside ASA, I wouldn't have any umpires left.
Mike, is there a code that talks about ASA umpires who register with an ASA association outside their place of residence/work? For example, an umpire from an East Coast ASA association who tries to register with an ASA association from the West Coast? Please let me know about this one.
