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.

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:
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.
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.
