    How much do I owe?


    Teams often ask what they owe w/o filling out their team registration form. That is like walking into a store and asking the cashier how much you owe before you have picked out what you are purchasing.

    ENYTB is NOT a single option, single fee league.

    All member teams pay a league fee that includes all league services. However, this fee does not include sanctioning and tournament fees, which are always optional (ala carte). Hence, teams interested in being eligible for sanctioned tournament play at the end of the season, must select those tournaments and fees on their online registration form.

    Since all sanctioning and tournament options are offered on an ala carte basis i.e., teams pay for only what they take, we don't know what any team's registration bill is until that team completes its order form. The order form is also known as the team registration form. On this form you tell us what, if anything, you choose to purchase beyond basic league services. That is what your team registration form is for.

    NOTE: The information on your team registration form is also used to put your team in the proper standings for regular season play and to register your team with the appropriate national sanctioning bodies.

    To participate in this league, every team must complete a team registration form.

    Where is your team registration form?

    (1) CLICK HERE

    NOTE: This form is blocked until registration is "set". That usually occurs by the end of January. Registration closes March 15 (ages 12U and younger) and April 15th (ages 13U and older). It is recommended that teams wait until after the league meeting on registration and tournaments to fill out this form.

    Even if you don't want to be eligible for any post-season tournament play you still need to tell us that by confirming your online registration selections as final. Also, even the base fee amount depends on the age of your team and/or its competition level. This is simply not a one fee league. The correct fee for your team is shown on your team's registration page.

    After saving your registration choices, it is important to confirm your registration choices as tentative or final. If you need to change anything, you can do so up until registration officially closes even if you previously confirmed as final.

    Where is your team bill?

    (2) CLICK HERE

    Once (1) is complete, the website provides you with an itemized invoice. That is your bill. When payment is received, it will be recorded there.

    (3) Is there a consolidated bill for all teams in my club?

    Yes. CLICK HERE to obtain a consolidated bill for all teams in your club, with links to each team's itemized invoice. You need club level access to see this page.

  • 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.
