Meetings


BEGINNING Late January .......
This is not a league that requires teams go to monthly meetings year-round. Why is that? The availability of a first-class website, combined with the high quality support service provided by league admins via email and phone greatly lessens the need for meetings. Thus, we have fewer meetings and when we do meet, we don't have to concern ourselves with the mundane tasks associated with registration, scheduling, rosters etc.

  1. League meeting - for teams from this league only, to award berths, conduct a draft, and prepare teams for their tournament meeting; and,
  2. Tournament Meeting - for all teams in the tournament. certify paperwork and handout tournament brackets/schedule.
The website's online roster management system screens each sanctioned roster against the player eligibility criteria of that sanctioning body, including online draft picks. And, since ENYTB has online access to every sanctioned roster for every ENYTB team, there is no need to certify rosters in a group meeting. In addition, in those tournaments we host, the tournament rules, brackets and schedules are available online via the website's tournament manager. Thus, even the tournament meeting is often not necessary when ENYTB is hosting the tournament and all participants are ENYTB teams. This is often the case with PONY tournaments, NABF Qualifiers and AABC tournaments at the younger ages.

An announcement will be made in early January on the ENYTB News Board and by email, when the dates, times and sites of these meetings are known. Usually two age division meetings are held each week.

The Kick-Off meeting reviews the experience of the past year (the good, the bad, the ugly), awards are handed out, including nameplates for all trophy winners, and the current year's program is unveiled. An open floor provides members with the opportunity for comment and discussion.

The age-division meetings focus primarily on:
Website development and use is another frequent topic.

Teams should register with the league as soon as possible after their age division meeting.

  • How Do League Participants Retrieve Their Own Password?

    Lost Password?

    enytb.com allows users to retrieve their own password at any time.

    To retrieve your own password:

    Go to the very top of the home page and click on the [Login] button. In the spawned modal, click [Lost Password?]

    Enter your ENYTB registered email address;

    Click the applicable user ID (if there is more than one).

    The system will instantly email your password to your registered email address.

    NOTE: If you get a message stating that you aren't a registered user, the system is telling you that it does not recognize the email address you have entered i.e., it is not of a valid email address/password pairing. This would happen if you have multiple email address and are entering a different email address from what you are registered under in the system. It could also mean you have typed in your email address incorrectly or that it was originally entered incorrectly to the system. If you believe it to be the latter, please contact your league navigator for assistance. If you don't know who your league navigator is, contact Ed Frye at 518-356-9089.
