The best enforcement mechanism in the directory
The league keeps team stats and separate League Leaders pages for hitting and pitching.
Then it does something nobody else does. All-star roster allocations were determined by standings as of July 26, and the league states plainly that if a team does not have stats entered, its allocation of players to the all-star game may be forfeited or given to other teams in the division.
Every league in this directory struggles to get managers to enter numbers. This one attached a cost: fail to do it and your best player does not get picked.
Scoring on High Cheese produces the numbers as a byproduct of the game being scored at the field, so nobody has to be threatened into typing them up.
