Counted down rather than up
The league keeps a 2026 SVABL Season Schedule of Events, and the dating that actually appears on its front page is a countdown: six games left plus playoffs, join now at a prorated fee.
Its older material still asks people to sign up for the inaugural 2025 spring season, so the site carries two years at once.
No opening day, closing date or playoff date is published as such.
A season entered once on a High Cheese league page dates itself into every player's own calendar and retires when it ends, so a second-season league stops carrying its first season's recruitment call.
