More paperwork than leagues four times its age
For a league in its second season with four teams, the published set is remarkable: a Rules page, a separate Manager Policies document, an Awards page, and a Documents library carrying the printable sponsorship packet.
Manager Policies is the interesting one — the FAQ explains what the role carries: team equipment, field setup, lineups and scorebook submission, with managers free to play or not. Writing that down in year two, rather than discovering it in year five, is why this league already reads like an established one. High Cheese keeps a league's documents beside the schedule and against the rosters, so a policy about scorebook submission sits next to the games it governs.
