I see. Suo actually means swamp in Finnish, and occasionally, when it comes to team success, it does indeed describe it well - if feels like wandering on swamp.

Well, I always thought that in finnish, the country was "Suomi Finland" (as we can see in many sports events).

BTW, Swanps and Frogs will long live together ;)

Suomi Finland indeed is familiar phrase to many (following sports)..

Maybe they do go well together, but now I feel stupid because I didn't quite get the idea/joke here... ;p Maybe you can elaborate on it a bit more?

Frogs live in Swamps, don't they ?

(yes, that's all (folks))

Yes, they often do I guess, even though I'm no frog expert by any means.
I just asked because often you have some certain smart, funny, or witty connection/idea built in within your humor/comments (or that's how I've experienced it so far), and as your team nor mine I guess don't have any connection to frogs, that's why I mentioned it... The only connection between HGL and frogs, that I can come up with, is LGM (with their stylish frog-logo).

Ah, I understand, you're not a rosbeef !!

Let me explain an ol' story of ours !
Every french knows that british, especially English, people call us Frogs ("froggies") cos' we eat frogs (we used to, but it's hard to find french people nowadays eating frogs). It seems that is only for english or british people.

(BTW, we call english "rosbeef", cos' they're red as everybody * knows.

* everybody = every french people, especially playing rugby**
** rugby = a sort of sport that NO non-british people, excepted french froggies, knows

PS : english soldiers were (IRL !) called "lobsters" by american people when it was war time (Independance war) -> https://inf.news/en/history/eaa9189579dc0b72dd0960bc0452b1...

*** yes, it was humour :D

Lots of ***'s (stars) in your message, probably more than in my team roster ;P

I see now your point and joke, I was totally unaware of this froggies-nickname thing!

Scores have been updated to schedule, but league tables have not been updated on the part of today's and last Friday's games yet.
Sorry for delays. IRL there are multiple things that take lots of time, concentration and energy currently. It's very hard to concentrate on BB due to that right now. Hence the silence on HGL threads on my part.

And these 3 match weeks have never been my favorite anyway.

Anyway, I'll see if I'd be able to update league table after these 2 missing games, or if we need to wait after tomorrow's game (3rd game in 4 days!) have been played (so that I'd update 3 rounds at a one go).

On the topic of statistics...

...unfortunately, I just don't have the time to keep doing the seasonal Leaders in the various categories. It requires a lot of time to process every game of every round for the entire season. As a result, I am giving notice to everyone now that I cannot keep doing it going forward.

Keeping stats on my own team is enough atm.

I have taken on a Coaching role in domestic Basketball competition, starting in a month or so, and know it will take a lot of my time. That on top of being a school teacher, doing my GM role, helping out a little with the Aussie U21 NT...I have had to make some cut-backs to what I can realistically do.

I apologise for not being able to do this indefinitely.

Thanks for letting us know.
No problem whatsoever.
I also have huge challenges in terms of being able to collect HGL Team Stats (45 categories), and while I already did all the "base work" needed for Season 6 stats collection, frankly, it infortunately remains to be seen if it's realistic.

Problem is, the bigger the mountain of uncollected stats becomes, the more "uninviting" project it'll become and harder it is to get starting doing it. However, it's not just because "I don't feel like doing it", I don't have time for it right now and IRL things are stealing way too much attention at the moment (to justify using the last bits of energy, if there is something left, to stats collection right now).

Wagner, I've bought back my old drafted player (50779071), yet I don't think he will get much HGL playing time. Will also get rid of a couple of younger players, will write an update later, when the player movement stops.

Quick update on Benjaminas Us – after crashing out of the cup early, and experiencing salary issues due to a changed formula, I decided to sell him, for the second (and last?) time. Effective today ~at 6pm.

League tables have now been updated to present standings after 6 Rounds of play. Life is not good at the moment, so like I mentioned, it's very hard to take time for BB at the moment, so hence the delays in updates.
Somebody please remind me at some point to update wages and ages to participating teams-posts (and all transfers on S6), I occasionally happen to remember those are not yet done, while not häving time for that now...

Interesting scores and standings, and if I'd have to pick one team whose performance has been great especially considereding when comparing earlier HGL Seasons, they might be awarded "Outstanding perrformance award" or "Fighting spirit prize", like in sumo), I could mention WMO, as they have beat very strong teams of EOS and KKS.
Of course there are some other relative/moderate surprises in scores of other teams too.
Also SAN, a new-to-HGL team, was able to find a historical HGL opening victory in their relatively evenly fought match against ALA.
As for other convincing and even maybe slightly surprising wins, we know how strong VIV is, so VDT did a great job by beating VIV by 5 on R5.

Anyone else have noticed any scores on this Season 6 that have surpsised them even a little bit?

I am also quite busy in RL at the moment. I hope all is well for you, Wagner.

As for the results, I think you have called it well.

Yes, based on what you wrote earlier, it's quite hectic for you at the moment. Good luck with your IRL (if my memery serves me?) basketball project, that should be interesting to put it mildly.
No, not all is well, very far from that frankly. But thank you for the wishes anyway.

Thanks, have anyone else seen some (possibly other than the ones I mentioned) results they've been at least somewhat surprised to see (during this Season 6)?
