Answered, and one that is not
Where: twelve grounds between Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Whitby, Clarington, Newcastle and Port Hope, each with a street address. When: Sunday doubleheaders and Wednesday nights at 8:30. Who is winning: the Whitby Canadians hold the 2025 title, their third in four years, and the current leaders are published through 24 July.
What it costs, what age it starts at, whether the bats are wood, how long a season runs and how a new player gets in are not answered anywhere.
Those are the five questions a prospective player asks first, and this league answers none of them while answering everything a current player would ask. A High Cheese league page puts the fee, the age and the join button on the same page as the schedule the league already publishes so well.
