Both open forms take donations
The league's two live registration forms are its 2026 Annual Donation Drive and its golf outing and awards dinner. Its previous site carried the playing instruction — all new and returning players must register for the season, and anybody who needs a place to play should register as a free agent — but the new site's forms are for giving rather than for joining.
A league that has just rebuilt its whole web presence and put the donation form first is being honest about what it needs, and it leaves an unattached forty-eight-year-old in the valley with nowhere obvious to sign. A High Cheese free agent pool runs on the league's own page all season, so the man who wants to play and the man who wants to donate are both one click from the front page.
