Totalled by season, never by game
The league's archive holds standings for nearly twenty seasons, so every result across five divisions has been recorded and aggregated. No individual game score is published anywhere, in any year.
Five hundred games a season for twenty-nine years, reduced to a table per division per year — and only when somebody built the page. On High Cheese a final entered once becomes the box score, the standings line and the season record together, so the archive is a by-product of the games rather than a separate annual job.
