The USASA Technical Commission is responsible for preparing a Rulebook, writing an Amateur Code, creating a Responsibility Code, setting the age categories, deciding the formats of the Nationals, and resolving Appeals. It is also the job of the Technical Commission to sanction the Trainers Division of USASA in order to certify Judges, Technical Supervisors and Coaches, and to help the Regions with the personnel necessary to run their events.

The people involved in running USASA events are the Regional Series Directors, the Technical Supervisors, the Head Judge and Judges, and the Referees. These people are all subject to the Rules as well as giving the competitors the right to Protest and Appeal if they feel they have been wronged.

The Technical Commission aims to control the quality of USASA events at all levels. This is accomplished through the writing and constant updating of the USASA Rules, the education and certification of officials, the publishing and distribution of guidelines and educational material, the settlement of protests and appeals, and the constant quest to follow the evolution and the development of the sport.
