Real-time, and unreadable
The platform advertises real-time standings as a headline feature, and the standings route exists. What it serves to anything that is not a browser running the application is the page title and a list of links.
Nobody outside the league can see which team is leading, how many teams there are, or whether the season is under way.
Standings that are pages -- crawlable, linkable, readable on any device without an account -- are what a High Cheese league page produces from the same reported scores. Real time is worth very little if the only people who can see it already know.
