You've "heard stories"? Yeah, there is a viable source. And actually, I was referring to the insurance company attempting to recoup any cost. This is why signed waivers do not completely protect people from lawsuits. Even though they would still be protected by Bollinger as long as the original event was ASA sanctioned, some umpires will not continue working a game if it ends prematurely. |
heybucket is a forum, so the sources are anonymous. but, why would anyone lie?
I would like to know, since I decided to go with additional bollinger thru ASA for ncaa. I let naso expire and I have not yet renewed. Quote:

I have personally filed two claims with Bollinger under my ASA umpire insurance (one relatively small, the other over $20k when it was all said an done)
In either case, I had little trouble with Bollinger. Yes, getting 'itemized' bill were a pain, but once I told the hospital what type of form I needed in the bills, it was a breeze. I'll stand behind ASA's insurance as one of the best and convenient. Like any insurance claim, one needs to follow the instructions in the claim forms. |
I am just reflecting the hearsay. I have no experience to reference, so I can only work off of others.
I went w/ the additional bollinger already to cover HS and NCAA, so I did take it as rumors. the extra bollinger was a $25 bump up from reg ASA dues. I may still renew naso since the coverage is higher. Quote:

I have always been charged $25 for the extra bollinger.
are you saying that there are ASA regions that add a profit margin on top of the cost on its umpires? :eek: Quote:

The key here is that you must register a minimum of 10 umpires to get the policy. In some areas, that just isn't something that is going to happen. |
We check hats and bats every game here. I've worked four games so far and found one bat with no ASA assignation and one catcher's helmet/mask that had several nuts and bolts missing. We still ask head coaches if players are properly equipped and require a verbal response. Better safe than sorry.
