ENYTB = Travel Baseball The Way You Want It: FLEXIBLE + COMPETITIVELY BALANCED + ECONOMICAL + ABUNDANT TOURNAMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Greetings To All:
Thank you for your interest in ENYTB. 2014 marks our 19th consecutive year of operation. In those 19 years ENYTB has greatly increased the breadth and depth of its program, as well as its membership. Last year ENYTB registered a record 187 spring/summer travel teams and another 75 fall travel teams.
The ENYTB solution recognizes that travel baseball and house league baseball are two entirely different animals. For that reason, the structure and operations of ENYTB have evolved as the complete opposite of the typical "one-size-fits-all" house league model offered by Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken, Little League and even most travel leagues. ENYTB offers multiple levels of competition at every age level and competitively balanced schedules to every ENYTB team. Thus, every ENYTB travel team, regardless of age or ability level, has the opportunity to play at its own competition level. This also includes "cross-over" games with teams from adjacent competition levels mixed in to the extent desired.
The hallmark of ENYTB membership is:
(1) TEAM FORMATION/PLAYER ACQUISITION - first-time ENYTB players are free to play for the ENYTB team of their choice regardless of their place of residence.
NOTE: Once a player joins a team, he is locked into that team for the current season. ENYTB players are eligible to change ENYTB teams after they have completed their first season with their current team.
Once a player has been a part of the league player pool, he is referred to as a restricted free agent (RFA).
NOTE: If a player ceases playing in the league for two consecutive years, he becomes an unrestricted free agent (UFA) again.
RFA MOVEMENT - ENYTB grants each team a certain number of RFA credits each year. In addition, teams can qualify for additional RFA credits e.g., compensatory and/or bonus (based on number UFA team adds to its roster). Teams owned by franchise members are eligible for franchise player exemptions as well.
In general, any ENYTB player A can move from any ENYTB team A to any ENYTB team B provided ENYTB team B has sufficient RFA credits to execute the player transaction. Team B must have at least one unused overall RFA credit as well as one unused head-to-head (H2H) credit with team A.
NOTE: Teams are allowed 2 H2H RFA credits per year and 4 lifetime vis a vis every other ENYTB team.
NOTE: Player "releases" do not exist in ENYTB's RFA system. Players don't need anybody's permission to change teams. RFA credits are used instead. The RFA system sets limits on each team as to how many players it can take from any one ENYTB team and how many overall players it can take in any one year from the combined league player pool (RFAs).
The RFA system pertains only to a player's primary team. Players also are eligible to play on a secondary basis for a team in an age division other than the age division in which the player is already primary. Players can play on one secondary team in each age division that they are not primary in, provided they are age-eligible for that age division. Example: A 13U player could be primary at 13u and secondary at 14u, 15u, 16u etc.
In the event of a conflict between a player's primary team and his secondary team, the player is obligated to play for his primary team unless he receives permission to do otherwise from his primary team.
(2) CUSTOMIZATION - every aspect of the ENYTB regular season (scheduling) and post-season program (sanctioning) is designed to be fully flexible i.e., customizable to the kind of team you have and what you want for your team. No two teams have the exact same everything. Every team is scheduled to play only when it is available to play and its home games are scheduled only when its home field is available to play on;
(3) SCHEDULE RELIABILITY - once the season begins, it is play or forfeit, with limited opportunities for schedule changes up till 72 hours before the scheduled game; and,
(4) AFFILIATION w MULTIPLE SANCTIONING BODIES PROVIDES ABUNDANT POSTSEASON OPPORTUNITIES - ENYTB provides its members with centralized access to up to four sanctioned National Championship Tournament Series: AABC; NABF; ECTB; and, PONY i.e., one league with four post-seasons. More than 60 teams qualify for NCTS through ENYTB every year - that is approximately two teams for every three that register for sanctioned NCTS events. Other leagues only qualify 5 to 15 percent of their teams for post-season play. That is the major benefit of having a multi-sanctioned league.
(5) EXPERT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE - In addition to the one-of-a-kind enytb.com website, ENYTB assigns a League Navigator to each club/team to assist with operation of the website as well as all aspects of league participation.
(6)AFFORDBILITY - All of the above is available for between $25 and $35/player, depending on team age and assuming a 12 player team. A 24 player team would pay half as much per player. This does not include post-season extras that are available on an optional basis.
