Dated, which almost nobody does
The RBL publishes its personnel with tenure attached. Nicholas D'Ambrosio is League President from 2014 and has been AAA Commissioner since 2010 -- sixteen years running the top division. Ari Freedman is Vice President from 2024 and AA Commissioner from 2021. Marc Nuzzo took the A Commissioner role in 2025, the year that league launched, and Ryan Johnson became Marketing Director the same year.
Its board of directors is listed with the year each member was chosen: Bruce Hackett, Eric Collyer, Dom Tubolino, Mike Paratore, Mike Pretsch and Ryan Johnson, all 2025.
Each officer carries an address at the league's own domain rather than a personal one, which is a small and telling sign of an organisation that means what it says about being structured.
A High Cheese league page attaches those roles to the seasons they governed, so a sixteen-year commissioner's tenure is legible from the records rather than from a bracket after his name.
