2015 ASA Rules & Umpire Manual in PDF

[Linknblue]

We're gonna beat a dead horse here I think. A PDF version is not out of whack. They are digitizing it by making it available as an app on Apple and Android software.......so why not on computers?

We are a pretty unique duck by softball league standards. We have our own field, not a city or county field. So we don't rent or use lights. Our fees are $70 a year for 20 plus games. Our fields are done by our own guys, for free. We have a facility group that maintains everything except the infield. We pay association dues for use of all facilities in our complex. We have tennis courts, bocce ball courts, pickleball courts as well as swimming pools and gym facilities....so we're very luck in that regard.

We just don't feel it to be prudent to purchase a bunch of hard copy books that'll just get lost or never looked at for our softball community....a better option would be to put a copy on our website......

I'm going to stop now cuz it just doesn't make sense.....and I know ASA is a business and I understand all that.....they want to make money any way they can...uniforms, schools, clinics, etc., etc.

Just a lousy PDF version is all I ask.

Here go put it on your phone, if the seniors have one. And if they're in the iPhone cult they're out of luck.

How about you type up the senior rules that you use and make them available that way? I'm sure if you have a free grounds crew and you're working with seniors, someone will sit around and type up the rules for you. Just be aware that ASA WILL come after you. They take their softball organization very seriously, even if you think it's just a little PDF.

Here's you a 2013 rulebook for $9.99

Well with all due respect you are asking to use this for free. This totally discounts the fact that ASA has spent time and money developing their playing rules.

Reminds me of kids who want to download all their music for free off of pirate copy sites on the net and can't recognize it as theft.

Not asking for it for FREE guys. What part of "willing to pay for it" don't you understand?

We have our own "exceptions" to ASA on our website. We'd just like to add the ASA rules as well.......

Geez.......
