No clock in the postseason
The regular season is seven innings with no new inning after 135 minutes. The playoffs are a different game entirely: two playoff games at nine innings with no time limit, followed by one championship game.
Removing the clock for the postseason in a league that otherwise runs four games off one field on a Sunday is a real commitment of daylight.
Every club's record shows its playoff line separately -- 2-0 for a champion, 0-1 for a first-round exit -- so eight years of postseasons are legible team by team.
A championship recorded on a High Cheese league page keeps the bracket, the final and the winning roster attached to the season, so a [C] becomes a game anyone can read back.
