Built well, and unreadable
The league's front page carries a real standings table with games played, wins, losses, runs for, runs against and winning percentage, updated live. A plain reader receives only the words Loading standings, because the figures arrive by script after the page does.
That is a league doing the hard part — keeping accurate season-long records — and then having none of it count where it would do the most good, because a search engine reads what a plain reader reads. Standings on High Cheese come out of the games themselves and land in plain text on the league's own page, so a table this good is actually found.
