The letter is the rule
The Central Valley publishes no rules of its own. What governs a game here is the Minnesota Baseball Association's classification system, and every one of these seven clubs sits at Class C in Region 6.
The association publishes a Criteria document setting out how a club is classified, which is the mechanism that decides who a town is allowed to play.
Uniform classification across a whole league is unusual and it removes the argument this league might otherwise have: nobody is claiming a mismatch.
High Cheese keeps a league's own agreements beside its schedule, which is where the things this league has settled among itself currently do not appear.
