ASA Umpire Insurance - F.Y.I.

For those of you who have already seen the test, you may have noticed under the benefits section, once again the $10mil liability insurance is listed.

This may be a misprint as the insurance coverage had dropped to $5mil a few years ago. It has been brought to the attention of ASA and is presently being researched.

Just wanted you to know so that if it is raised in a clinic or meeting, you are not putting out what could be incorrect information.

OTOH, if it did indeed go back to $10mil (which I doubt), great!

Whomever wrote that blurb is untrained (or perhaps, trained enough to mislead) to understand the certificate. Here is the coverage:

$2M General Liability, with a $3M Excess Umbrella, granting $5M total per occurence. The aggregate (total of all claims paid in the policy term) is $8M ($5M under General Liability, plus $3M in the Excess Umbrella). There are also separate limits of $1M for Personal Injury, and $1M for Products Liability.

So, while it is conceivable that $10M could be paid under the policy, no umpire really has $10M in liability insurance, if that is what he/she thinks.

Also, so far as I know (and I may be misinformed on this), the $3M Excess Umbrella is not specific to the umpire insurance; it would be shared with other classes of ASA entities, meaning ASA National, ASA local associations, ASA Commissioners or other covered Officers, etc.

Follow-up

From a Deputy Supervisor of Umpires

Quote:
The correct amount of Insurance Coverage is 5 Million. The test is incorrect and will be corrected for next year. There will be a mention of this on our next Rules Clarification on the Web Site at the end of February.
