USA/ASA has had a secondary (optional) insurance plan for registered umpires that covers when working other sports, and extends some softball coverages; it specifically excludes competitor softball games (ie, USSSA, NSA, etc.).

At the same time, it DOES state coverage for umpiring softball for high school, college, junior college, and SCMAF (in CA). I would take that to mean that USA Softball considers those as affiliated groups, not competitors.

Q: Am I covered while officiating any kind of softball games?
A: No, the plan only covers USA Softball softball, High School, Junior College, College and (in California) SCMAF softball. No coverage is provided for officiating softball for competing softball organizations.
