Including one nobody else publishes
The league's rules and regulations carry two dates on their face: created 26 February 2002, last revision posted February 2024. They are published as a full web document with a printable PDF beside it, indexed in twenty-one numbered sections with return-to-top links throughout -- somebody built this to be used, not filed.
The quick links page adds a player registration form to print in advance, a manager evaluation form, field directions, and a set of arm-strengthening exercises. That last one is the giveaway that this is a league of grown men who have to get through Monday: no other league in this directory publishes a throwing programme as a standing resource.
Documents this carefully kept deserve to be attached to the season they govern. A High Cheese league page holds the rules, the waiver and the registration form beside the schedule, so what a player signs is what is being played.
