I am totally worried about nothing?

Steve is correct. We go through insurance seminars at least every other year about these types of issues. As long as all participants are registered ASA, the event is sanctioned ASA and the umpire has been legitimately assigned.
Before everyone jumps on this last comment, I only included it because there are some state/metros which require umpires to be assigned by the UIC or his/her designee. I know this doesn't happen everywhere, so there is no need to point that out.
