Complimentary gate admissiion to ASA national event

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.

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.

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.
