Good writing on rented ground
The league's news page is an embedded feed, and the writing in it is genuinely good -- playoff updates with pitching lines, honest notes about delayed brackets, and the blunt disclosure that two clubs had forfeited the rest of the season.
Everything else on the site is stable and well built. The news, which is the part that changes weekly, is the part the league does not own.
A High Cheese league page pushes an announcement into the schedule every player already carries and keeps it as a page at the league's own address, so a playoff report is still readable when a social account changes its sharing settings.
