Dated where it counts
The league dates the things that cost you a season if you miss them: registration on Sunday 16 August 2026 at 2pm with a last chance the following Sunday, fall games from the weekend of 30 August, and a spring season alongside it. Rained-out games should be made up within ten days, agreed between both managers and reported to the board.
The one hard time on the calendar is nightly: no new shootout inning may begin after ten o'clock.
Two registration dates and a ten-day make-up window are exactly the deadlines that get missed by the man who did not check the site that week. A season entered once on a High Cheese league page puts every one of them into each player's own calendar.
