Complimentary gate admissiion to ASA national event

[DTQ_Blue]

We are having an ASA National tournament this week here in VA. I am registered with a local ASA chapter but am not working this tournament. The tourney website says "ASA officials" with a membership card can get complimentary admission. I have a card, but do not know whether it makes me an eligible "ASA official."

Does anyone know whether a standard chapter membership card will get one into this type of event. I would like to go watch some good softball, but I'll have the $12 at the ready if I need it to get in.

I'll be in Salisbury, MD umpiring the NSA Men's Fastpitch World Series August 6,7 & 8. Let me know how that ASA membership card works out for you.

Are you an ASA official? Do you have a membership card? Unless they're talking about the card I have as a District UIC that gives me free admission to any tournament the ASA sponsors, I'd say you're in.

From what I learned, an "official" gets a different type of card from a general member, and the "official's" card has some verbiage on it that states that they get free admission to ASA events, which my general membership card does not.

However the guy at the admission gate yesterday saw that I had a card on it that said "ASA Umpire" and just waved me thru. I think I caught a break.

That's not true! I'll also talk to you if you have a burrito or taco.

Don't you mean one to spare or share?

Here is a guy that adds hot sauce to everything. Gets up in the morning to brush you teeth, you use toothpaste, right?

Sergio uses Crest wintergreen mixed with Tabasco hot sauce. Or maybe not. Maybe it's Colgate wintergreen.

If Sergio were a fire eater in a carnival, he would add hot sauce to the flame.

Mike,you've been snooping in my bathroom again. It's Crest wintergreen, not Colgate. And the Tabasco hot sauce is to kill the germs and prevents gingivitis.

Sorry, gotta go. My root canal appointment is in half hour.

Here the locals say that the reason foreigners get intestinal problems is because they don't eat enough pili-pili and drink enough tsitshampa. Pili-pili is a hot pepper that makes habeñeros look like a sweet bell pepper in comparison and thsithampa is local corn moonshine. The theory is that what microbes survive one get finished off by the other.

I myself have been back 6 years now and still no problems. Proof positive.
