INTRODUCTIONThe league management solution used by ENYTB is owned by RunMyLeague.com (RML). enytb.com is designed to satisfy all league information needs 24x7.MY TEAM MENU - Everything a manager needs to run his ENYTB team during the regular season is located on the MY TEAM menu, including: schedules, lineup cards, score entry, game reports, standings, player stats, team communication, your team's Division News Board, Scoreboard, and a self-updating list of your team's three immediate upcoming games. The Scoreboard has a running stream of recent league results. The results are geared to teams of the same age and power rating of your team. Thus, for example, 14U Gold teams will see scores of games involving 14U Gold teams.MY CLUB MENU - Club owners and GMs have access to MY TEAM for each of their teams as well as to a MY CLUB menu whose content is customized to your club. A club may choose to become an ENYTB member for many reasons. Some join for the great competition and diversity of opponents available via regular season play. Others for the centralized access to four or more sanctioned post-seasons. Still others for the customized experience. More than 90% or ENYTB members, when polled, have said they wanted ENYTB to provide limited roster protection and a high degree of schedule reliability. ENYTB delivers in both areas.Regardless of your reasons for joining ENYTB, the website enytb.com is an unexpected bonus for most because it is one of a kind. Designed and developed by ENYTB President and his son Peter Frye, it represents more than a decade of continuous effort. In short, it is designed to mirror the day-to-day league operations of ENYTB on an interactive basis. enytb.com is filled with numerous capabilities for teams to interact with the league, their fellow members and their own coaches and players. enytb.com also makes the majority of its content available to the public (5 out of 8 main menus).Members have three levels of premium content available to them.

The website creates a virtual baseball office for the club owner, the club GM and each team manager, coach and player. Each can conduct various informational transactions related to league participation as well as interact with the league, including league administration, other teams, and your players, etc. With game reports and standings, you always in the know re: your team's competitive position in the league.GENERAL NAVIGATIONThere are eight main "menus" to choose from at the top of each page. They never change. Five of those eight menus are simultaneously available to members as well as the public. They are: Home Page; About; League Play; Tournaments; and, Help. The Home Page includes three items of great importance: the ENYTB News Board, the ENYTB Calendar of Events, and the ENYTB Team Activation Board.The About menu is where you find the ENYTB Constitution and By-Laws as well as the members of the Executive Board. This menu also includes the ENYTB News Board and its Archives.

The Help menu features a comprehensive FAQ page that covers every question ever asked about ENYTB, organized by 30 plus subject areas.

A baseball league seems like such a simple thing but after reading many of the Q&A on the FAQ page, you will quickly realize there is much more to ENYTB than meets the eye. Website Tips is another item on the Help menu that can be very helpful when learning the ropes of the website.Everything discussed so far is available to members and the public alike i.e., it requires no log-in.The three remaining menus are: My Club; My Team; and, Tools. They are regarded as premium content menus because they require log-in to access. These are the private, secure area where all content and tools are customized to your club and team i.e., they comprise a virtual baseball office from which you can conduct all of your interactions with the league, including your opponents, players, etc.Let's take a bit closer look at the types of things you can do on these menus.My ClubThis menu gives access only to club level passwords linked to your club. It includes five separate functions.First, is a Personal Profile folder for the current user. It allows that person to edit his contact info, his email preferences and it lets him change his password.The second folder is marked Utilities. It gives you access to a potpourri of functions such as: links to team insurance applications from different providers; a capability to upload your club logo to the website and to link it to your own website; it stores the passwords for all of your managers and coaches by team so that you can assist them if they have difficulty with gaining access to the website; and, you also have the capability to grant club level access to anybody you wish.
