Last Man Standing! ENYTB Tournament

Back To Tournament Home

  • The Last Man Standing tournament is ENYTB's season closing event. It is played late July every year July and is designed to provide a fun ending to everyone's season. Every year, over 100 teams participate and game are played at more than 30 fields operated by ENYTB members. Non-league members are welcome to register for this event.

    Entry Fee: $450 per team and each team pays one ump per game played.

    Team Eligibility: This is an open tournament. Any team aged 9U - 18U is welcome to enter.

    Age Divisions: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U. (19U teams can play in the 18U division.)

    Competition Levels: Teams are grouped into divisions with the goal to place each team into a level they can be competitive in. The number of registrations in an age division determines the number of competitive levels. Each age typically has 2-3 competitive levels: Best In Class (BIC), AAA (medium), AA (low). Each division typically has 6-12 teams.

    ENYTB Standings are used to place ENYTB teams while non-ENYTB teams are allowed to self-place in conjunction with a talk with the tournament director.

    General Format: 3 game guarantee. Pool Play followed by single elimination. A typical schedule follows:

    THUR/FRI/SAT - pool play

    SUN - Single elimination begins

    MON - semis and/or finals may be played Monday night for divisions with larger number of teams.

  • ENYTB members, in conjunction with ENYTB, host all LMS games. We ALWAYS need hosts for this tournament so if you are interested in hosting any games, please advise the tournament director (Andy Frye, (518) 545-0747).

    We make every effort to place games at fields to avoid significant travel distances for both teams whenever possible. As tournaments wear on, the games get concentrated at fewer and fewer fields and there is less control over that.

    There are several hosting options available:

    1 - Host your team's games only, usually Friday & Saturday.

    2 - Secondary host: host your own game and a limited number of other games

    3 - Primary Host: host non-stop throughout tournament, includes games involving your teams, as well as games not involving your teams. Usually includes Championship game in your team's division. Clubs with multiple teams in tournament must provide priority list of what teams should be home.

    Options #2 & #3 will receive tournament fee credit and/or donation from ENYTB in exchange for field use time and labor. The amount will be based on how many games you host.

    League provides baseballs and all team and player awards;

    Each team pays one ump per game played; and,

    Each host keeps 100% of all concession revenue.

    No ump costs, no ball costs, no sweating the details, all the host does is order the umps, distribute the game balls, keep the field(s) groomed, and cook the food and keep the drinks cold! Great way to sell the last of your snack bar supplies. We have used 30+ fields for LMS games in each of the last two years.

    Every ENYTB hosted tournament has its own online tournament home page containing all information pertaining to that tournament, including rules, brackets, schedule and scores.
