Thirty-four years, unbroken
The league dates itself to 1992 and states that it has been running continuously for thirty-four years and counting, as a Florida not-for-profit.
Continuously is the word that matters — this directory is full of leagues with gaps, rebrands and lost decades, and very few can claim an unbroken run that long. No champion, former club or past season is recorded anywhere. Every season played on High Cheese keeps itself as standings, box scores and rosters together with the champion attached to the year, so a thirty-fifth season arrives with the thirty-four before it readable.
