Won in four
The league finishes in a Championship Final Series. Its 2024 edition is written up on the site: the Stars dispatched the Cubs in Game 4 to capture the crown.
A best-of series rather than a single final is a serious postseason for a small league, and it is the sort of thing this wire service exists to cover. No bracket or seeding is published. High Cheese builds and runs a series off the standings the season already produced, so a Championship Final Series is set the moment the last Tuesday is final rather than arranged by phone.
