ASA doesn't "call" itself the NGB, the USOC and congress do that in accordance with U.S. Code 2205

And what I don't like in NJ is the simple fact that the organization is nothing but an insurance collection agency as far a girls fastpitch is concerned. Anyone in America can go onto the national ASA website right now, click on the New Jersey link, and see that there is no information whatsoever regarding current happenings in the fastpitch world.

That is true with many states and metros. Just because they don't submit their schedule to the national office doesn't mean nothing is happening. I know plenty of umpires in NJ that work every weekend, so something is going on.

The big question, why does Mikey seem to support the current terrible state of ASA softball in NJ?

I don't worry about NJ, I have enough to deal with in DE. See, your problem is you have never taken the time to find out how the ASA works, hence ignorance drives your comments.

To MCCrowder, my issue is that an umpire said PONY softball rules are derived from baseball. Despite the fact that the rules seem to be Fed softball rules with some leaning to ASA rules. Where did the Atlanta ump come up with the assertion that PONY softball rules are cloned from baseball?

Maybe because PONY is a baseball-driven organization like LL unlike ASA and other organizations which are softball-driven organizations.
BTW, I believe PONY's insurance program runs through the same NJ-based company that ASA's does.
Like I said folks, Ed doesn't like ASA. Still waiting to hear how that lawsuit is going.
