Let's see....going to triple-elem means every game has meaning and teams and tournaments are not wasting resources or risking injury on meaningless games....tiering NC play into an elite status (USA/ASA Nationals) which require the same qualifying as before....creating a lower tier (ASA Nationals) to which damn near any team in good standing may attend if they are given a berth by their commissioner....making the game safer for the players AT THE PARENTS DEMAND....removing the tournament assessment for states and regionals....

I would say ASA is making some good moves.
