    What are the costs for ENYTB membership alone?


    Each registered team pays a single fee for all regular season services.

    In addition, ENYTB offers teams opportunities for post-season play, some sanctioned, some not. All are available on an a la carte basis i.e., pay only for what you want. All post-season offerings are priced on a cost breakeven basis. Two members only tournaments are FREE i.e., included in the regular season registration fee. NOTE: Teams pay one ump per game played.

    The ENYTB website includes a team registration form, customized to each team's league age and level of play. Each team can make all its post-season choices on this single form by simply clicking a check-box.

    • Each team is required to pay a single fee that includes all regular season league services. In 2019 this fee varied from $475 to $575, depending on the team's age; and,
    • Each Gold/HiSilver team has the option purchasing post-season tournament eligibility under up to three sanctioning bodies. ENYTB also hosts a June Madness Tournament open to all ENYTB teams at ages 9U-15U and a Last Man Standing Tournament open to all members and non-members alike at all ages from 9/10 thru 18/19. These tournament opportunities are available on an ala carte basis. For a list of all ENYTB fees for the current year, including all post-season tournament fees, click HERE.

  • 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.
