Balance is managed, records are not shown
The league says competitive balance is a core priority, actively reviewed and maintained each season across all five divisions, and it moves teams between tiers to keep it. That is a standings-driven decision by definition.
No table is published. There is no way from outside to see who is winning Sandlot, or how AA finished last summer, or what a team's record was when it got promoted.
A High Cheese league page keeps standings that update from the scores as they are reported, which is the same evidence the board is already using and the version everyone else currently cannot see.
