Answered on purpose
The CMBA maintains an FAQ section and a Join Us page in its main navigation, alongside Bylaws, Policy and Playing Rules.
Keeping an FAQ at all puts it in a small group here. Most leagues answer questions by email, one at a time, forever.
What renders publicly is the competitive picture: five clubs, current records, runs for and against, and every fixture with its time and park.
A claimed league on High Cheese answers the practical five on the same page as the table.
Chicago Metropolitan Baseball Association in detail

- Real results with times and parks: 19-6, 10-1, 8-6, and a 7-0 at Piotrowski.
- Electrons, Hounds, Blazers, White Sox, Hawks, and an Instagram account per club.
