Its own section
The rulebook gets a dedicated place in the league's navigation -- RIMSBL Rules -- rather than being buried in a documents folder, which is how a competition treats rules it expects people to consult.
The structural rules visible from outside are the divisions: 28, 40 and 50, with several clubs fielding sides in two of them.
Nothing about bats, roster limits, game length, courtesy runners or pitching restrictions is readable publicly.
A rulebook reaches players when it sits beside the fixture. A High Cheese league page keeps the current version at the league's own address next to the schedule it governs.
