NASO membership is the best deal going for any serious sports official. I don't have worry about 'squat' regarding insurance etc. when I'm on my way to any softball or basketball assignment, meeting, or camp no matter what sanctioning body is involved.

Just my two cents.

Great summarization of how most of us feel......can't be said any better!!!!!

Since I'm not a NASO member, I don't know the answer to this question, which I don't know has been answered throughout this whole thread. If this tournament was totally unsanctioned, would NASO insurance have covered any problems if an umpire was working ???

Any injury problems? Yes.

Any problems arising from arrogant rookie being a thorn in an assignor's side? Sadly, no.

I let it go for almost 48 hours! But yeah, that one was too easy.

Yes, as long as the tournament was being run by a recognized sports organization, league, or association... (ie: not a pick-up game). Traveling to the game, working the game, traveling home from the game., and the coverage goes far beyond injury. Think of a reason(s) you could be sued as an official, and NASO insurance covers you.
