One door, and limited room behind it
The league keeps a Join Us section. No fee, deadline or roster limit renders on the readable page.
Five clubs on effectively one diamond means capacity is set by the permit rather than by demand, which is a real constraint on how many people this league can take.
High Cheese gives a league a join page carrying the terms and a free agent pool, so a club a man short finds somebody without adding a sixth team the park cannot hold.
