Their umpires, while not taking the test and becoming certified by ASA, follow ASA rules and are trained by fellow ASA umpires.

Are we saying that this group "cannot" or "isn't entitled" to purchase ASA rule books? If so, it's seems pretty bizarre.

So far, you haven't said they were "REGISTERED" with ASA. Pay the registration, you get a rulebook.

Register the teams; they get rulebooks. Register the umpires, they get rulebooks. Don't register, not entitled.

Seems like a pretty simple concept to me.
