Two standing notices and a tryout
The league runs a newsletter, a notice board and a submit-a-story route. Its one current headline is 2026 MTABA Tryouts. Its two standing notices are the ones that matter operationally — the field etiquette reminder and the instruction to winning managers to report scores immediately.
Choosing to keep field manners and score reporting permanently on screen, above the news, is a correct judgement about what actually breaks. A league on High Cheese gets a wire where finals post themselves as the books are finalized, so the notice about reporting scores becomes unnecessary and the space goes to the baseball.
