Open to being pitched at
The league publishes [email protected] for sponsorship inquiries and keeps a contact page inviting questions. Its VP of Public Relations and Marketing is introduced with a direct invitation — have an idea, she would love to hear from you — and the You Call It sponsorship tier tells a buyer to send an inquiry or use the contact page and the league will help build the idea for him.
Publishing an address and then actively asking to be approached is what separates a league with sponsors from a league with a sponsors page. A claimed league on High Cheese keeps that contact on the page people already read for the recap, so an inquiry arrives where somebody is already looking.
