Has anyone worn the hockey-style helmet in ASA Nationals?
Does the helmet meet the definition of a "mask" in ASA Rule 10? It would seem both a mask and a hat are required.

ASA Rule 10-1C The male and female umpire shall wear ... The approved navy cap ... The plate umpire in fast pitch MUST wear a black mask ...

Since the mask rule goes on to even specify the throat protector & allow a built-in wire protector, it would seem ASA did not visualize the hockey mask when they wrote this rule.
