Everything but the money
The homepage answers most of what a player wants: wood bats only, two divisions, one or two games a week, mostly weekends, three seasons running roughly late May to August, late September to December, and late January to March. It answers the awkward one honestly too -- most players played high school ball, about half played college, and the odd former professional turns up.
It never says what it costs. There is a waiver to sign and no fee anywhere on the site, so a newcomer has to ask before he can find out.
Price is the question that decides whether someone plays. A High Cheese join page states the fee beside the season it buys, which is where a league that has already answered every other question should be answering that one.
