The league publishes a 2026 final scores page and a playoffs page, and tells visitors plainly where the news actually is: follow us on Facebook for announcements, final scores, standings, stats and more.
So results get typed once into a social feed and again onto a website, which is the ordinary duplicated labour of a volunteer league with eighteen clubs to chase.
A score reported once on a High Cheese league page becomes the standings, the club's record and the player's line at the same moment, and the announcement goes out with it -- which is the second typing removed.
