Oops
Missed that the first time. There are a lot of them listed. None closer to me than Lexington (where my DD is playing an ISA tournament this weekend).
Hmm, comparison of number of teams listed as entered in each organization's "State" tournament as of today: Code:

It's still early for registering, I would think. Around here, if you don't qualify for ASA National by playing in ASA qualifiers (not sure how that process is structured, as I don't call any ASA), then teams try to qualify for USSSA World Series by finishing 1st or second in a World Series qualifier (just about any USSSA tournament, it seems). We have ASA State in the NW corner of the state (Farmington, 7/11-7/13) and two USSSA State tournaments (one in Albuquerque, 7/11-7/13, one in SE corner of the State (Carlsbad) 7/11-7/13). I guess you can take your pick around here, ASA, USSSA Central NM or USSSA Southern NM. Should be a shortage of umpires that weekend.

For those that are bashing USSSA, apparently you do not call U-trip and do not have a rulebook. There is almost no difference between USSSA and NFHS books, and thus only minor differences between USSSA and ASA. (Unless you consider the approved bat lists for USSSA a major difference!)
Now, if you are talking USFA - (Please stop snickering!) - their rulebook is a joke. You cannot seriously call a competitive tournament game using just their book. But they know it; they tell their umpires to use their NFHS or ASA experience and knowledge to make the calls. WMB |
