A season written up in four parts
The league keeps the 2023 Season Draft team-by-team listings, a Grading The 2023 Season Draft piece, a 2023 Season Preview with a breakdown of every club, and the 2023 Season Awards Winners and All-Stars. No rulebook, waiver or bylaws are published.
Grading your own draft is a thing professional leagues do and amateur ones never attempt, and this one wrote all four pieces. High Cheese keeps a league's documents and its writing beside the schedule and the rosters they describe, so a draft grade sits next to the roster it is grading.
