Winning the league, losing the summer
Hawley Hawks 5-1 in the league, 8-9 overall, plus 25, five consecutive wins. Nimrod Gnats 1-1 and 5-8, plus 1. Midway Snurdbirds 0-2 and 8-7, minus 9. Sebeka Stingers 0-2 and 4-8, minus 17.
Hawley are the line worth reading twice: five wins in a row and top of the league, and a losing record overall. So everything they have won has been in this competition and everything else has gone the other way.
Midway are 8-7 overall and last in the league on 0-2, which is the same effect reversed.
Four clubs playing eight league games between them makes this the smallest sample in the directory, and the two records disagree completely.
Standings on High Cheese come out of the games themselves, so a league record and an overall record are two views of one set of results.
