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.

Not bad, they charged you cost

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?

If you have always paid $25, you were bumped previously. The supplemental started at $20, increased to $22 several years ago. This is the first year at $25.

In some cases, yes. It used to be a joke in some areas of the Central Atlantic where a commissioner acted like he was doing you a favor by "allowing" you to get the insurance through his association when it would have been $5 cheaper to get it through your own local (assuming they were not padding the cost, also).

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.
