    OTHER IMPORTANT REGISTRATION DEADLINES:
    1. Teams must make their post-season sanctioning and tournament registration choices;
    2. Teams (or their club) must pay their full registration fees; and,

    Players can be added to online rosters beginning as soon as the team is activated for the upcoming season.

    NOTE: No player can be used in a league game unless that player has first been added to the team's online roster. Proof of age must be submitted to the league no later than 72 hours after a new player's first appearance in a league game unless the player has played in ENYTB previously and his DOB was already confirmed by the league.

  • How Do League Participants Retrieve Their Own Password?

    Lost Password?

    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.
