Two seasons, four brackets in the second
The spring and summer season starts in early April and ends by mid-August, playoffs and championship series included.
A fall season follows for four of the six age groups -- 18+, 30+, 48+ and 68+ -- each with its own registration.
The Digest is dated monthly.
A season entered once on a High Cheese league page dates itself into every player's own calendar across whichever brackets and whichever seasons he plays, which for a man in a spring 48+ and a fall 48+ is two competitions that need to agree.
