Beginning 2019 - Games On Play-Or-Pay Fields
Will Be Labeled On Schedule

A couple of years ago ENYTB adopted a policy that large clubs in particular, be required to provide sufficient home field time for the scheduling of their teams' home games. That policy caused some clubs to rent field time, sometimes at rather high rates and on a no cancellation basis i.e., use it or pay for it anyway.

Last season, one club in particular experienced an extremely high cancellation rate by visiting opponents. Thus, they were forced to pay a considerable sum of money for field time that was not used. This was very unfair to them. Hence our new play-or-pay field policy: If you are scheduled to play as a visiting team on a field marked on your schedule as a play or pay field and you forfeit the game, you will be required to reimburse the home club the rental fee for the field. A play-or-pay icon indicating the rental fee for a particular field will appear on your ENYTB schedule.
