The ASA rule book is a benefit of registration. PERIOD!
I approached the computer geek of the NUS, Steve's good friend, about putting the rules on-line for registered member, but we all know that passwords would be freely distributed.
BTW, PONY moved to more ASA-like rules because, at least in this area, poach ASA umpires along with the uniforms. I know umpires who were told to use ASA rules when working PONY tournaments because it didn't make any difference.
Leagues register PONY for the benefit of "earning" non-qualifying berths to what are basically open national tournaments.
