Including all-time
The league keeps a Standings section and, beneath it, an All-Time Standings page -- a cumulative record across every season since 2016.
Ten years and twenty seasons of an eight-to-ten team league is a substantial cumulative table, and very few competitions here maintain one.
Its rulebook uses standings for real decisions: playoff qualification, tie-breaking by head-to-head and run differential, and home field in every round.
Standings that rebuild themselves from the reported scores -- and roll up into an all-time table without anyone maintaining it -- are what a High Cheese league page produces from the same results.
