TB or Tournament Bound is for 2nd year players of an age divsion, which are designated as Major, but only the organization's top team. Pee Wee Major A, Bantam Major A, 16U and 18U. Minor years are not State Bound, nor are any B teams or Mixed teams in an organization that fields a Major team eligible for the State Tournaments. Only an organization's top team in its major year are State tournament eligible. Declarations of being a TB team are made prior to the season, qualifying league game wins determine which teams make it to the State Tournament and very strict record keeping and rules are required to remain eligible. Teams that win the NYS Tournament are eligible to compete in the National Tournament.
NTB or Non Tournament Bound is for 1st year players of an age division and 2nd Major teams or B teams. So, if there are 2 Bantam Major teams, only the top team is State Tournament Bound, the 2nd team is only eligible for local playoffs (if applicable, i.e. no 15U playoffs). There is no NYS Tournament for Minor age divsions.
MOHL or Multiple Organization House League teams are made up of both 1st year and 2nd year (minor and major) players within an age division. They are eligible for league playoffs.
