Turn up to the scrimmages and get taken
The league is explicit about how a man gets on a roster: new players are picked up by teams during pre-season scrimmage games. Fees are typically around $160 a person, plus the cost of jerseys and hats which can add up to $75. Clubs are recommended to carry a minimum of twelve players.
Running the intake as an open scrimmage rather than a draft or a tryout is the least intimidating version there is — nobody is cut, somebody just asks you to play for them. It also means everything depends on being there on the right Sunday in July. A High Cheese free agent pool runs on the league's own page all season, so a man who finds the league in September is visible to every manager rather than waiting for next pre-season.
