SteveM, in our state (Georgia), you don't have to register ASA through an Association, the Zone or District; particularly if you feel they don't represent or support you effectively. Umpires can register from another area, or as independents, and are eligible for all assignments handled by the State staff. In that way, the State UIC (and his designees, when he delegates) can also use those identified as qualified umpires when desired, even if the local doesn't promote them.

We also, like Mike, require a minimum number of ASA assignments (with a minimum number of local assignments, too, if applicable), to make sure the umpires are supporting their local and ASA, not just sitting back and getting cherry assignments, while working XYZ ball. So, it isn't a one way street, allowing the umpires to thumb their noses at the local needs.

If that opportunity doesn't exist in PA, perhaps you could suggest it to Luau, who might be able to start a program like that.
