A full summer, ending before Labor Day
The season is a 24-game schedule beginning in late May and concluding with the league playoffs in August.
Twenty-four games is one of the longest regular seasons in this directory, and finishing in August rather than September is what a semi-pro league does when its players are college men heading back for a fall season. Each of the twelve clubs keeps its own schedule and results page. A High Cheese calendar carries the whole run on one subscription and syncs to every player's phone, so a rearranged midweek fixture reaches men across a fifty-mile stretch from Lynn to Kingston.
