Broadcast rather than published
The league runs a subscription form on its front page asking for a first name and email to keep people posted, a Discord server, Facebook and Instagram, and a separate 2027 interest list. It keeps no news page.
For a league whose most urgent message is usually somebody needs a player this Saturday, a Discord and a mailing list beat a noticeboard every time. What they cannot do is leave a public record of a season. A league on High Cheese gets a wire where finals post themselves as the books are finalized, so the urgent messages stay on Discord and the season leaves something behind.
