I have no problem if the umpire wants to work PONY or any other game, but not on my time and sweat.

Form what I see, umpires around here would gladly welcome back ASA Fastpitch and so would teams if ASA were more flexible.

Have no idea what you are talking about there. I am included in the JO meetings with the different leagues and travel teams and have been told that the reason they hosted PONY tournaments is so they don't have to qualify. Travelling to any location is just as expensive regardless of the sanctioning body.
