ASA is declining in my area. A HUGE td in our area completely dumped his asa tournies and our association to provide the umpires. He basically runs his own little fiefdom of tournaments called "IFA". They are also pretty decent and well run events. They are real deal no matter what they call themselves.

ASA 18G and 18A divisions are decimated by premier. No doubt about that.

I got the ASA 18A in Hemet and some umps have already been dropped due to less teams. So far Im still hanging in there.

Fresno Force, a ASA tournament I've worked for a long time and has always been a top draw tournament in april didnt even require outside umps and for the first time no one from our area was needed to go there.

Not looking good.
