Don't go soft; play hardball
The MABL of Southern Wisconsin runs six divisions from Madison: Open Weekends, Open Weeknights, 32+, 42+, 52+ and 62+. Each has its own page, its own standings and its own schedule. Its motto sits under the masthead: don't go soft; play hardball.
Its best line is on the 62+ page, and it is a whole design philosophy in one sentence — the division is open to all players 60 and over to start it out, plays early Monday evenings on Madison area fields, and all games will be complete before lights are needed. A league that schedules its oldest division around daylight rather than availability has thought about who is actually driving home. High Cheese gives a league one address it owns with all six divisions' fixtures, tables and rosters, so a structure this considered is readable by the men it was built for.
