Including the two that ran out of men
Across its divisions and its twelve-year champions record, the league has fielded the Royals, Spartans, Braves, Knights, Thrashers, Athletics, White Sox, Black Sox, Red Sox, Marlins, Steamers, Outlaws, Pirates, Angels, Bulls, Reds, Rhinos, Blue Crabs, Goon Squad and Little Lucky's.
Its own playoff update carries the harder half of that: the Steamers and Outlaws forfeited the rest of the season due to roster availability. Two clubs out of an 18+ division, gone in August, for want of players.
That is the single most common way an adult league loses teams, and it is exactly what a visible free agent pool is for.
A High Cheese team page belongs to the club rather than the season and carries its roster at its own address, so a manager who is three men short in July can see who is available before he forfeits.
