Including the one nobody else answers
Why is there no summer season? Because the league breaks from mid-June to mid-August to accommodate summer travel ball and family and recreational activities. It is an 18-and-over league organising its year around its players' children.
Cost: around thirteen dollars a game per player on a thirteen-man roster, varying with the number of teams and games, paid to your manager, with possible extra team charges for hats and jerseys on top.
Season: ten to fifteen games, spring from mid-March to early June, fall from mid-August to early November. Games: seven innings, no new inning after 135 minutes. Playoffs: nine innings, no clock.
Age: 18 and over. Where: Wynne Price, Doc Campbell, and occasionally Tiger and Pawtuckett.
New players attend a skills assessment.
A High Cheese league page puts the fee and the join button on the same page as those answers, which is the last step this league has not built.
