    Summary: Step-By-Step Team Registration Instructions

    Step-By-Step Team Registration Instructions



    Every club and team that wants to participate in the league must pre-register with the league each year. This preliminary step is called "activation" and is done by phone only. Contact Ed Frye at 518-356-9089.

    NOTE: Returning teams must activate before Feb 1st or lose their league roster protection from the prior year.

    Once activated, all personnel linked to the club and its team have active passwords (players too for returning teams with rosters). For a more complete explanation of website access privileges CLICK HERE.

    Activation is the first step in the larger process of registration. All clubs are required to complete the following tasks in the order presented to complete the REGISTRATION process:

    1. Add Your Players To Your Online ENYTB Roster
    2. Enter your post-season eligibility choices (sanctioned & other tournaments) by clicking the appropriate check-boxes on a single online form called "Team Registration". Save and confirm as final;
    3. Your itemized team invoice will tell you each item your team purchased, what it cost and as well as total amount owed. Submit registration payment (payable to ENYTB c/o Ed Frye, 5227 Bridle Pathway, Schenectady, NY 12303);
    4. Provide your scheduling inputs to your League Navigator (LN) via a telephone interview. Club GMs may email their field availability inputs to their LN if they wish. Once your LN has completed entering your scheduling inputs to the website, you must VERIFY the accuracy of the inputs via your team and field availability calendars. If calendar(s) are accurate, click the CONFIRM button near the top of each calendar.
      NOTE: Confirming registration choices and scheduling inputs is a crucial part of the overall registration process;
    5. Submit proof of age for your players (if needed) and proof of team insurance to your LN; and,
    6. Create your sanctioned regular season rosters by linking the players on your ENYTB Roster to each of your sanctioned regular season roster(s). (NOTE: Post-season sanctioning choices (steps 1 and 2 above) must be completed before the website will assign a blank sanctioned roster to a team. Confirm that you have completed your sanctioned rosters. Again, it is crucial that each team has confirmed its sanctioned rosters as completed.
    Each of these topics will be addressed more completely below.

    NOTE: Roster protection does not begin until the player has been added to your ENYTB roster online. For this reason, we advise teams to establish their rosters ASAP (step 1). If you are taking players from other ENYTB teams, it may be in your interest to wait till Feb 1 to add them to your roster in case the player's prior year's team does not activate itself for the current season, in which case the player would become an UFA on Feb 1.

    NOTE: Steps 1 thru 3 must be completed before league scheduling begins or your team will NOT be included in the league scheduling process. Exceptions may be granted as necessary for individual items when requested e.g., waiting for their home field dates/times.

  • 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.
