One park, one day
Everything happens on a Saturday at Neilson Park. A typical week runs an eleven o'clock and a three o'clock; a fuller one adds a half past two and a six. The league plays fifteen regular season games plus playoffs, nine innings each.
One weekend in August has the Dodgers and Phillies meeting twice on the same day, at eleven and half past two, with the Marlins and Blue Jays at six.
Fifteen Saturdays is the whole season for a man in this league, which makes a rainout expensive and a clash unfixable.
A High Cheese schedule puts each game into every player's phone and moves it in place when a Saturday goes down, which in a fifteen-game season is a fifteenth of the year.
