As for ASA decision not to post their rules on-site really makes no difference to me BUT I do think they could do it and still be able to make it by and it may save them some time not having to answer what I am sure is a piss-pot load of e-mails concerning their rules and how to get a rule book
PLUS I am not trying in anyway to start a disagreement here. I still believe ASA is the best org. out there and I am sure I will continue doing 90%+ of my calling through ASA. I was just stating my opinions on the subject

You're no fun
Most umpires know that many non-officials do not read the rule book properly. They look for something which involves their problem and stop when they find anything that can remotely be used to justify their stance. Quite often, as we occasionally do, they don't read ALL the rules applicable to their situation. In other words, they forget to turn the page.
I believe there are enough "myths" out there without an entire new generation coming along with only half of the story.
If someone really wants to know the rules and get a rule book, I have no problem with them coming to a clinic. In DE, all of our clinics are free of costs and open to anyone who would like to join us.
Now, how would you feel if ASA had a password-restricted site for ASA registered umpires ONLY which would include the rule book, case book and other tools of the trade?
