[Unlimited DIVISION NEWS]

College/Unlimited Teams,We have 12 teams currently activated in this division (a recordnumber) but only 8 were accounted for in yesterday's meeting. I needthe following teams to confirm via email that they still intend toparticipate in the league this year.(i) Schdy Community College(ii) Queensbury College Guys(iii)Pittsfield(iv) West Albany Various things were decided:(1) Tournament eligibility for the NABF 22U would be extended toSilver teams. All games in the college division will be wood bat,including all silver teams. (2) Gold teams would be placed in 3 divisions of 3 and the top teamwould get a berth. MPR = 3. In addition, all Gold teams would beplaced in a 9 team Gold Division with a MPR = 3 and the top finishingteam from each 3 team division that did not win its own division wouldget a berth as well. Thus 2 of 3 Gold teams would make the tournament.Finally, each Gold team would be required to play each Silver teamonce. Silver teams would play each other 3 times. Gold MPG = 27 for 6 NABF berthsSilver MPG = 15 for 1 NABF berth.If registrations are less than anticipated, NABF berth purchases willbe reduced accordingly (from 7 to 5).(3) Some interest in purchasing a berth to the AABC State tournamentwas expressed. If teams want to share that cost $500 and compete forthat berth they should select AABC on their team registration page.(4) There will be a for-fun tournament on the weekend before MemorialDay weekend. Kelts will host on Sunday (2 fields = 6 teams - each getsa split DH). Broadalbin will host on SAT and we are looking foranother Saturday host. Bill Kelts agreed to manage this event, pleasecontact if you are interested and if you have a field.(5) There will be no ENYTB Championship or Last Man Standingtournament in these age groups (22U/Unlimited), because of the latedates of the sanctioned tournaments in these age divisions. Instead,various members will conduct tournaments the weekend after theAABC/NABF tournaments. Invitation will be based on team strength. Thelower division will be hosted at Broadalbin and WFD may host the upperdivision. Please contact Dave Wiltey (Broadalbin) or Bill Kelts(Waterford) if interested. ENYTB will not oversee these tournaments.(6) Teams also discussed when they would be available to play games.Most present want to play one DH each weekend and 1-2 games duringthe week. A handout was provided all teams in attendance.(A) PLEASE GET YOUR TEAM REGISTERED on the website ASAP (i.e., makeyour postseason choices). (B) Please send payment ASAP (payable to ENYTB). (address is 5227Bridle Pathway, Schennectady, NY 12303). (C) Please talk to your club rep and make arrangements for gettingyour team/field availability to your League Rep ASAP. A, B and C must be done before April 1. Thank YouEd Frye
