Thirty-three years, two names
The Original Division was founded in 1993 for established teams that wanted to play at the top competitive level; the Expansion Division began in 2000 with rosters filled only from the draft. The distinction has since dissolved and the league keeps both names deliberately, to honour its own history.
Beyond the 2024 Championship Final Series and the 2023 awards, no champion is listed and no earlier season is recorded. Every season played on High Cheese keeps itself as standings, box scores and rosters together, so a league that already cares about its history stops having to choose which parts of it to retype.
