One score a season, per division
The only results the league publishes are its finals: 11-3, 4-3, 13-4, 7-2. Each arrives inside a championship announcement, weeks or months after the game.
Everything between opening day and the final goes unrecorded in public, in a league whose own tournament runs live scoring through an app. On High Cheese a final entered once becomes the box score, the standings line and the season record together, so the fortieth game of a Weeknight season counts as visibly as the last one.
