Can they do this?

[TexBlue]

Mike, Glen and Dakota, maybe I used the wrong term. This umpire signed up with an ASA group of umpires. "Blue" wanted to call in a city closer to home, calling ASA games. It wasn't USSSA, Dixie, AFA, PONY, etc. "Blue" just wanted ASA games closer to home. That's when they told "Blue" they would ban this person. They weren't talking about from their association, they meant the ASA certification would be voided and "Blue" couldn't call ASA qualifiers or regular ASA tournaments at all. This blue just went to another group of ASA umpires and wanted to call with them. "Blue" was told absolutely not.

From what Mike posted, it was all what is known as B......, uh, well, nonsense. While they might have had the political pull to do this, I don't think they could justify what they threatened with any guidelines from ASA.
