First and second, included
The $910 team fee explicitly covers awards for first and second place. No playoff, bracket or format is described, and no past champion is named.
Building the trophies into the entry fee is a quietly sensible municipal decision — nobody has to collect money in September for something promised in April. What the city does not publish is how first place is decided across four divisions. High Cheese builds and runs a bracket off the standings the season already produced, so a division that pays for its awards up front knows how they will be won.
