Written down, and enforceable
The published rulebook runs ten sections with its own index — uniforms and equipment, game length and cancellations, rosters and eligibility, free agents, courtesy runners, conduct, umpires, ejections and forfeits, scores. Every player signs the league's liability waiver at registration. A suspension arrives as a written Notice of Suspension setting out its terms, and a suspended member may appeal by submitting a written Request for Appeal.
Due process in writing, with a right of appeal, is something no other league in this directory has put on a public page. High Cheese keeps a league's documents beside the schedule and against the roster, so a notice, a waiver and the rule it was issued under sit together.
