Governance and record, both kept
The league publishes Bylaws, Policy and Playing Rules together, and keeps Awards archives for 1994 to 2007 and 2013 to 2024 alongside Previous Championships.
Thirty years of awards, with a five-year hole in the middle, is the document set of a league that has been through something.
High Cheese keeps a league's documents where people already go for the schedule, and keeps every season as data so an archive cannot develop a gap.
