One man, listed everywhere
The league names Philip Ellis as League President on its contact page with the number 256.714.2828, and repeats the same details at the foot of every announcement, including tournament inquiries. He is the only officer listed.
Every club page adds its manager and coaches with their own telephone numbers, so a player who has found a team can reach it, and everyone else goes to the president. A claimed league on High Cheese keeps the president on the page and routes club questions to the club's own roster, so twenty-odd managers are reachable without twenty-odd mobile numbers on a public page.
