UPCOMING 2013 ASA NATIONALS IN ARIZONA


ATTENTION ARIZONA JO CLASS “B” ASA REGISTERED TEAMS

In the past, we have required our “B” registered players to participate in the “B” State Championships to qualify for ASA’s “B” Western National Championships. Unlike the “A” Classification that have multiple opportunities to qualify for ASA National Championships, requiring the “B” teams to compete in the “B” State Championships as the only path to the “B” Westerns if being addressed.

We are going to open another avenue to our “B” teams to qualify for “B” Westerns by participating in two (2) Arizona ASA Tournaments prior to the end of July. These events can be any invitational tournaments that we have listed on our www.tournamentasa.com  site in Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, Pine Top, or Bullhead City. The only two events that you cannot participate in to qualify for “B” Westerns are the “A” State Championships or your age division’s National Qualifiers.

We are listening to our teams who are not able to make it to the “B” State tournament, but would like to have an opportunity to participate in the “B” Western Nationals. If you are one of these teams that can not attend the “B” State Championships, but would like to go to the “B” Western Nationals in your age division, please look at our 2013 Arizona ASA Tournament Calendar and register for two events. We also would like your help in getting to the teams that you are aware of in the same situation about this opportunity.

The following Cities will be hosting “B” Westerns the first week of August:

  • 10u/12u Peoria, Arizona

  • 14u Stockton, California

  • 16u San Diego, California

  • 18u Salem, Oregon

Teams that are classified “A” that would like to reclassify their teams to “B” and participate in any of these events can do so prior to competing in any National Qualifying events. Teams must contact the State JO Commissioner prior to competing in any Championship play events, (State, Regional or National) to request a change in Classification from “A” to “B”.

We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity we are providing to our “B” level teams and support Arizona ASA as we are trying to support you to have another path to the ASA Western National Championships this year.

Please contact either Tom Carle at www.tomcarleasaevents@comcast.net  or myself at rick.hormann@prescott-az.gov  for more information.

REGISTERASA.COM IS “LIVE” FOR 2013

The registerasa.com website has gone live December 5.  At this time, you will be able to go in and begin to register your team/league for the 2013 season.  There are many new updates to this system that I believe you will appreciate when registering your team or league for 2013.

As you visit the website as a Team Administrator, League Administrator, coach, parent or player, once you register, you become a MEMBER of Arizona ASA. As the primary purpose is to obtain insurance for the members of your team, there are so many more benefits to becoming a member of Arizona ASA by registering your team or league through regiterasa.com.  Some other benefits include:

Become a Member of Arizona ASA  

One of the new options will be to “Add Team to New Season” button to have your entire team information repeated into the 2013 season.  To do this, simply go to your home plate, click on the team you are moving to 2013.  Once you get to the team page, click on the Information button to get to the team information.  Change your age classification and deductible amount if necessary. Once your team’s information is up to date, click the “Add Team to New Season” button.  From there you can remove players no longer on your team, add new players that are joining your team, etc. then submit for a new invoice.

Please also be aware that if you are the league administrator for your recreation league, you must have your district J.O. Commissioner approve you each year to create your league.  This helps protect the past year’s participants from anyone who has left your organization from going into the system and having access to your league.

Also, new to 2013, the deductible amount has changed.  There is no longer a $0 deductible option.  There are two options for travel teams.  Either a $125 deductible with photo id cards or $250 deductible with photo id cards are available.  For RECREATIONAL LEAGUES ONLY, there is one option, the $250 deductible without photo id.  These participants will receive a non photo card instead of the photo id cards necessary for traveling teams to participate in ASA tournaments.  Finally, regarding the insurance for 2013, the 90/10 co pay to the deductible is still in effect.  Attached is a description of what the 90/10 co pay is all about.

 2013 Bollinger Claim Form

If you have any questions regarding the revised version of registerasa.com or have any problems/questions with registering your team or league, please contact your district J.O. Commissioner for assistance.  You can find your district J.O. Commissioner’s contact information by going to the contacts link of this website, www.azasa.org .

We look forward to assisting all our traveling teams and recreational leagues.  Good luck on a successful ASA season.
