  • How To Determine a Player's Official Baseball Age
  • Is there a deadline for adding new players to my ENYTB roster for the regular season?
    • Can a player be on the ENYTB roster of more than one ENYTB team at the same time?

    Can a player be on the ENYTB roster of more than one
    ENYTB team at the same time?


    Yes, players are allowed to play for two or more ENYTB teams if and only if each team is registered at a different primary age.

    EXCEPTION: If a player is CUT by a team before he participates in three ENYTB games in the current season with that team, he may sign with another team in the same age division in the current season with league approval.

    When a player is participating on two or more teams at once, he shall be designated as "primary" by one of his teams and "secondary" by all others.

    PRIMARY - The primary team alone enjoys "roster protection" privileges within the league for the player and has first preference to his time in the event of any conflicts between the activities of the player's primary team and any of his secondary teams.

    NOTE: The primary team also has the option to grant the player whatever leave it wishes to play for any of his secondary teams.

    NOTE: If a player has an unexcused absence from his primary team to play for one of his secondary teams, that player is subject to removal from the roster of that secondary team for the remainder of that season, including post-season, at the request of his primary team.

    SANCTIONED TOURNAMENT PLAY

    Players can NOT participate in sanctioned tournaments in different age levels under the same sanctioning body.

    Each national sanctioning body require all players playing on sanctioned teams in more than one age level to declare by no later than July 1, which age-division the player wishes to be post-season eligible for.

    EXCEPTIONS: NABF allows players to participate in the post-season at both the 17U and 18U age divisions. It is the same for players in the 22U and Adult divisions.

    The league requires each player to be post-season eligible with his primary team unless his primary team is a long shot to earn a berth and then the player is allowed to declare eligibility for the secondary team of his choice.

    NOTE: The primary team can grant a player the option of declaring his post-season eligibility with his secondary team if it so chooses.

  • 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.
