Because fields and umpires need paying first
The league answers a question no other league in this directory even asks: why register early?
Its answer is one sentence and it is the most economically honest thing here: your early registration makes the league better, because securing fields and hiring umpires requires upfront commitments.
That is a league telling its players that its March cash flow is what buys their July grounds and crews, and that a man who pays in May has made the season worse for everybody.
The rest of the answers: 18 and over, wood bats only, Sundays from May to September, various fields across Grand Junction, $285 to $300, no refunds, everything due by 1 May.
A High Cheese league page puts the fee and its deadline on the same page as the schedule it buys, which is where a player deciding between early bird and regular is already looking.
