By ASA - if you say so. I would disagree according to NF or NCAA. I should remove ASA from my signature. Our ASA in WV isn't worth a crap and I didn't even register this year and probably won't ever do it again. There are other organizations (like Pony) fighting against ASA and I'm busy enough . . .
