Logically, the rules have a wider audience than the umpire's manual.
Also, logically, the code has a much narrower audience than either.
Audience (more or less):
Rules: Coaches, umpires, league officials
Code: League officials
Umpire Manual: Umpires
The largest audience is coaches, followed by umpires.
If the ASA can sell two books to all the umpires instead of one, they have more income.
That's my theory.

I do believe the ASA rule book and umpire's manual are included in umpire's registration fees, no new income.
Code is now on-line as are most coaches, players and league officials, no new income.
If the coaches read the rule book the same as the umpire, why are they so often wrong? League officials don't read the rules, they've got UICs to do that for them. d:-)
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. If you disagree, ask your coach to ask the league official to have the UIC check his rule book to find out if you may appeal it.
