Argued, not stated
This league does not publish a bat rule. It publishes a reason.
Nothing feels or sounds quite like a nine-inch round ball being struck squarely with a piece of perfectly-carved lumber -- that sound, that feeling, that is why we still play hardball.
Beyond wood bats and weekend play, no rulebook, age bracket, roster limit or game length appears on the public site.
A rulebook belongs beside the fixture it governs. A High Cheese league page keeps the current version at the league's own address next to the schedule.
