This part is for Mike. Here's how the new site takes the busywork off your plate.

1

Brian sends results

The pro shop emails the league results to one address, same as always.

2

The draft builds itself

Standings, winners, and scores land in a draft report, tables already made.

3

Mike adds the good stuff

An AI helper suggests a few lines in your style. You add the jabs and nicknames. You approve every word.
