Brackets kept, winners not
The season archive carries separate playoff entries for 2009 East, 2010 East and West, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017, so the postseason has been recorded as its own competition in at least six years.
What is not published anywhere is who won any of them. Seventeen seasons and no list of champions.
A title recorded on a High Cheese league page keeps the bracket, the final and the winning roster attached to the year, which is the one thing this league's otherwise complete archive is missing.
