Nineteen full-time clubs, and a dynasty called the Dirtbags
The 2025 season carried nineteen full-time teams — eight at 18+, six at 30+, five at 50+ — plus three part-time 60s sides that go full-time in 2026. The champions roll names the Cubs, Dirtbags, Thunder, Cardinals, Reds, Stars, Knights, Brewers, River Bandits, Pirates, Vols, Colt .45s and Blaze.
The Dirtbags won or shared eight titles in eleven years between 2006 and 2015, which is the longest run of dominance recorded anywhere in this directory. No roster is published for any club. Rosters on High Cheese update as men sign and follow a player between clubs, divisions and seasons, so a man moving from the 30+ Dirtbags to the 50+ keeps one continuous record.
