How to crack TYLAL

What does TALLY mean?
TALLY (noun): a running count or score, often kept with marks or ticks. Example: “The judge kept a careful tally of each team's points.”
Similar: count, score, total, reckoning.
Did you know? "Tally" once meant a notched stick split lengthwise so two parties could each keep matching halves of the same count.
Using TALLY in a sentence
As a noun, TALLY is the running count itself: "keep a tally," "a tally of votes," or "the final tally." As a verb it means to count or to agree: "Please tally the receipts" and "That tallies with what she told us." Sports writers still talk about a goal tally. The older sense survives in "tally stick," and in British English a tallyman once kept door-to-door payment records. Don't confuse it with tally-ho, the fox-hunting cry, which is unrelated to counting.
How TALLY fits the puzzle
TALLY circles A and the first L. Those two tiles open ALUIBSEGGE and become the A and L inside LEAGUES.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, BIG LEAGUES.
