Seven finals, with the margins
Every result on the public site is a championship game, and the league records them carefully: 13-6, 7-0, 3-0, 6-4, 14-0, 8-6, 11-6, 4-2, 9-1, 7-2, 11-4, 2-0 in games, 2-1 in games, and one 20-3. Where a score was lost, the page says so rather than leaving a blank.
Nothing from the regular season -- in four divisions, over two seasons a year, across four years -- appears anywhere.
A score reported once on a High Cheese league page becomes the standings, the team's record and each player's line at the same moment, which is how a league that already tracks statistics gets a public record of its ordinary Sundays and not only its finals.
