Where the year has got to
The league dates its season by where it is rather than by a calendar: now that we are in August, two weekends of regular season remain, three games left for the clubs in the seeding race, playoffs after.
No start date, finish date or fixture calendar is published.
That is how a short seven-team season actually feels from inside it, and it is useless to somebody deciding whether to sign up next year.
High Cheese puts the season on one calendar that subscribes to a player's phone.
