Announced to members only
The application has a News page. Nothing on it is retrievable, so no rainout, deadline, meeting or result reaches anyone who is not signed in.
For a league that has otherwise thought hard about its own operations, having the announcements channel be invisible to prospective members is the expensive part.
News on a High Cheese league page goes out to the schedules players already carry and stays at the league's own address as a page, so an announcement reaches the roster and the search engine at the same time.
