Name, phone, email
The league's route in is a short form on its front page under the heading Interested in Playing — full name, telephone number, email address — with the promise that the commissioner will be in touch about joining.
Three fields and a personal follow-up is a low barrier and a good one for a recreational league, and it puts the whole intake on one man's to-do list. No fee, deadline, age requirement or start date is published to go with it. A High Cheese free agent pool puts every unattached player in front of every manager on the league's own page, so the commissioner is placing men rather than collecting them.
