Three tables, three generations
The league keeps standings separately for each of its three divisions -- 28, 40 and 50 -- with its own navigation splitting them out, which is the right structure for a competition whose clubs often appear in two of them.
Everything is served from a platform requiring sign-in for the detail.
Standings that rebuild themselves from reported scores and sit at the league's own address as readable pages are what a High Cheese league page produces, so a player choosing between the 40 and the 50 division can see both before he registers.
