You are correct. I was quoting FED rules. I apologize.
Those are the games I do.
Please forgive my intrusion into the post.
I do believe the umpire has a right to control fans by the natue of our rules - whether ASA or Fed. I only hope I apply them correctly.
In ASA, what is the recourse for an umpire for unruly fans throwing things at players or engaging in verbal bantering back and forth to incite players?

Again my apologies.
No need to apologize. You weren't intruding; you were participating. Please continue. If I sounded annoyed in any way by your citng the Fed rule, then I apologize. I was just clarifying.

Many of us call for Fed, along with other organizations. Most of the softball sanctioning bodies are represented on this board by umpires. Even (ugh) USFA. - That was for you, Glen!
