After You Have Won A Berth To A Sanctioned NCTS

Contact Info

  • Why does the league require that all league participants be identified in the system?
  • How do I enter my contact info?
  • I have a new email address. How do I changeover?
  • How do I find my opponent's contact info?
    • Why can't I obtain contact info for my opponents from my schedule?

    Why can't I obtain contact info for my opponents from my schedule?


    The website is designed to block your access to contact info on your opponents if:
    • You have not entered complete contact info on at least a manager and one coach for your own team;
    • You have not designated a primary and secondary team contact person, with complete contact info; and,
    • You have not entered a complete address and driving directions for each of your home fields.
    .
    These problems can be remedied E-A-S-I-L-Y by you.

    First, make sure you are on your schedule page.

    MY TEAM > Game Manager > Schedule (Updated)

    NOTE: The three upcoming games shown at the top of the home page are NOT your schedule. That is merely a reminder of your immediately upcoming games. There is, however, a link to your schedule page immediately below your listed upcoming games.

    When you get to your schedule page, click on an opposing team's name.

    If you get the following message:

    ----------------------- ON SCREEN MESSAGE ---------------------------
    "You have not entered complete contact information for your own team. You MUST do this before you can access other's information!

    Please go to [My Directory] and complete contact information (address, email & phone) for your manager, primary contact and other contact."
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Then you know you are missing contact information for YOUR OWN team. Follow the prompts to correct the situation and you will be allowed access to the contact info for your opponents.

    For some unknown reason, many of you are giving up at that point. For the love of god, click on the [My Directory] hyperlink and it will bring up the page that is missing data (My Directory). Figure out what contact info is missing e.g., street address. Use the edit link (click) to fill in all fields COMPLETELY.

    HINT: If you have not linked both a primary and secondary contact to your team, you will be denied access to contact info on your opponents.

    HOW TO LINK TO A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY TEAM CONTACT PERSON:

    (1) Search our people list to see if the person is in the system already.

    (2) If you find him, select him and then click LINK (you will need to be using Firefox Browser for this LINK function to work).

    (3) If the person is NOT on the people list, you need to click the ADD NEW PERSON hyperlink and enter ALL their contact information completely, and then save and select the capacity in which you the person shall be linked to your team e.g., primary or other contact.

    (4) Coaches are added in the same manner.

    You are also required to have entered the full address and driving directions for each of your home fields. if you haven't you get blocked from accessing contact info for your opponents and the screen will guide you to the information that is missing.

  • 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.
