Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of ASA "agreeing" to stay out of IN, but secretly allowing one person to make the purchases. This could drive the prices up, and could be perceived as a conflict of interest.

So basically what I'm saying is... I heartily doubt ASA would ever enter into such an agreement.

I also doubt they would do it. But if they did, it would not be illegal. Annoying, perhaps, but not illegal.

Personally, if I have a quality local retailer of umpire uniforms, I prefer that to mail order. I won't buy hats online, for example, since hat size is a joke. Even when I go in the local store, I have to try on several of the "same size" to find one that fits properly.

Yeah, I have a 7 3/8 fitted cap that I mistakenly ordered from the Official Gear website. Anyone want to buy a fitted cap for $5? Tried it on only once...

Are sombreros that different in their sizes?
