True, but word does get around in our area. I know one person was asked to stop playing ball in one of the cities here, because he was quite verbally abusive of not only umpires but towards opponents and some of his own teammates (he was the team manager). Once he started losing some of his own players, and word got around to the softball coordinators of his attitude, he found it almost impossible to hook up with a team just to play for fun. Even some folks who played coed wreck ball didn't want him around. So, word does get around.

One city here does use USSSA as its league sanction, but it's clear in their rules if a person has been banned by ANY softball organization, they can't play in that city. So if Omaha bans someone (and it's ASA), it applies across the river as well. How they monitor it, I wouldn't know because I don't think we've had anyone who's been banned.

And usually, ASA will uphold a ban from a local league if it went through channels, but like I said, we haven't had to ban anyone so I wouldn't know if any appeals were successful or not.
