Electronic ASA Rulebook.

Well, not free, exactly.

We have ALWAYS gotten ours when they are delivered to the Deputy UICs or if you register and pay at the UIC clinic, he gives you one then. They aren't supposed to cost extra. Or are you saying they come with registration?

Yes, the same as where you are. When we pay our fees and attend the clinic, we get a book. We also get a new bat ring every year.

Don't all of you take the annual test?

No. The only requirement is attendance at a rules clinic. The Metro St. Paul association requires a test. State-wide, though, none is required.

However, it's obvious some pay no attention at the UIC clinc nor do they ever look at the new rules changes nor do they ever crack the book open.

Yeah, there are those who do the minimum to get by everywhere, I suppose.

These types probably throw it in the back seat floor board. I also suspect these are the same guys that don't wear caps under their face masks, their shoes never see shoe polish and their jackets are old and worn out OR unofficial (no ASA) one they bought at Walmart. I hate for these type umps to officiate at one of my daughter's games.

Ditto.
