Sign the form, then wait for the board
The route in is a free agent form for new players, placed at the top of the league's own front page -- and the reason it is the first thing you see is that it feeds an actual draft, whose results the league then publishes pick by pick.
A new player in Rochester therefore knows something most adult-league newcomers never learn: which club chose him, in which round, and who went before him.
What is not published is the fee for any of the three leagues, or the deadline for getting onto the board before the draft.
A join page that states the fee beside the league it buys, with a free agent pool underneath that feeds the draft, is what a High Cheese league page does at the league's own address -- and the draft results come out of the same records rather than being typed up afterwards.
