To see team placements for the entire age division or for anindividual affiliation, go to:Inside-The-League > STANDINGS.As usual if you have any serious concerns about what I have done,please contact me ASAP, I don't want anyone feeling disappointed.Scheduling will begin on Monday and take approximately 3 weeks(estimated target completion date = May 7). I will be reviewingeveryone's field availability data over the weekend. Utica must getits team availability date entered this weekend!!!While I'm scheduling, games will appear on your schedules.Invariablythis causes problems because no matter how many times I say it, someof you will think these games are FINAL as soon as they appear - theyare meaningless until I have finished scheduling the last game for theentire league and then and only then, will I announce that they areOFFICIAL. Until I say OFFICIAL, don't assume anything is locked in.If you have an agreement with another member to play a league gameatDoubleday Field in Cooperstown or some other special venue or onJuly4, etc. NOW is the time to let me know so I can hardwire them intothe schedule BEFORE I begin scheduling.Let me repeat 3 times..............(1) All scheduled games are subject to change until the entireleague schedule is complete and announced OFFICIAL by me. (2) All scheduled games are subject to change until the entireleague schedule is complete and announced OFFICIAL by me. (3) All scheduled games are subject to change until the entireleague schedule is complete and announced OFFICIAL by me. Or, as Yogi says, it's not over til its over.You are welcome to monitor your schedule progress and to let me knowif I've done something wrong i.e., in violation of your instructions.Better that you catch mistakes early. Also, a few of you will have afull or nearly full season schedule in the first week of scheduling,others may not have anything scheduled two weeks into the process.This is normal. I schedule in layers (there were approximately 30layers last year) and the timing of when I schedule your team dependson what layer your team happensto fall in and that depends on many factors. Of course, as Ischeduleyour opponents, their games with you will appear on your schedule aswell. For example, Utica teams are usually scheduled early in theprocess. Thus, your teams with Utica teams are often the first gamesto appear on your schedule. Have faith that in the end, you will getall the games you asked for (if possible and it usually is), all themust play games you need, and all will be scheduled according to theexact information you have provided on team and field availability(to the extent possible). I may even contact you during the processto discuss a difficult must play match-up. This highly customized scheduling service is only available inENYTB.Besides watching me schedule over the next three weeks, what elsecanyou be doing?PLEASE GET ALL YOUR TEAM PAPERWORK DONE AND SUBMITTED TO YOUR CLUB'sLeague Rep DURING THE TIME I'M PUTTING YOUR SCHEDULE TOGETHER!(1) Add players to your online roster (must have 9 by May 15 orsayonara). (2) AABC registered teams - print from website (legal size paper)andhave player sign roster. AABC/NABF rosters can be amendedup until 15 days before the start of the tournament. We will need acopy of your signed amended AABC roster by 7/5.(3) Copies of each player's birth cert. (22U teams only)(4) Copy of team insurance with ENYTB/Ed Frye listed as additionalinsured. If you don't have the league and me listed this year, wewill accept anyways but in the future, please list ENYTB/Ed Frye asan additional insured.Mail items (2), (3) and (4) together (as a single "all or none"package) to your club rep or your club's league rep. Do NOT mail tome unless I am your club's league rep.
