Six schedules, published separately
The league publishes a distinct spring and summer schedule for each of its six age groups -- 18+, 30+, 38+, 48+, 58+ and 68+ -- rather than one combined fixture list.
The season runs from early April to mid-August.
Alongside them sits a Field Status page, which for a league playing across the District, Maryland and Virginia is the page that decides whether anyone drives anywhere on a wet Sunday.
A High Cheese schedule gives every player his own fixture list across whichever brackets he plays in, and pushes a field closure into it directly -- which is what six schedule pages and a status page are separately trying to do.
