@all:
I'm looking forward to start adding content to Season 4 Official Threads very soon, after which I ask all of you to proceed with Pickup (PU) match organizing process soon, because there will be only about 12-13 days before Season 4 begins and all Regular Season matches need to be organized before Season starts!

For those of you to whom go through this process for the first time, I remind that we don't have that much time to send and accept challenges; that time means that you need to have added those match links to your own box score post (that you will create for your team, on Season 4 Thread, by replying to my team box score post), and I need to have verified well before Season 4 starts that all match details are correct.


To quote my earlier message, I now confirm that HGL Season 4 Official Threads are now full of typical HGL information, mostly on typical locations (only some minor changes from Season 3) such as schedule, and an instructive posts on how match organizing process goes.

As a match organizing/off-season memory refresher, one can read for instance:
"What everyone who participates to Season 4 of HGL needs to do now" (329502.13)
and announcement "We're ready to organize all Regular Season matches for HGL Season 4!" (329502.2)

I want to remind and ask everyone participating to HGL Season 4, that please proceed immediately with creating your own box score post on HGL Scores Season 4 Official Thread, by responding to this message: (329502.20) and then sending correct match challenges to your opponents (that you see from HGL Season 4 schedule on HGL Scores thread, as usual).

We have only 12 days before Season 4 starts to complete the whole process including verifying matches, so there's no time to waste.


(Don't wonder where my challenges are - I won't send them yet as I'm being way too exhausted now, working for this project for the last 8-9 hours straight.. So likely tomorrow you'll see some match challenges from me on your BBMail/friendlies-page.

Important note on organizing Season 4 matches:

I have already noticed two matches being organized at a wrong time, so in the case this would be a wider problem, I remind you all again that you use official designated match time for each team (official local time, meaning your local time) when organizing matches.

This will change for 1 hour from season to another, depending on Daylight Savings Time-cycles.
**************
When DST is not observed in EET time zone when season begins, Official HGL match time is your local equivalent of 14.30PM EET (Normal Time) which is the case for Season 4.
****************

When DST is observed in EET time zone when season begins, match time is 15.30PM EET DST (Daylight Savings Time).

I quote my Announcement posts:

For each team an Official Local Time is provided, which they use when sending PU match invitations. Found (before team name), here: (329502.12).
Use only this time given to your team specifically, and nothing else, when organizing (also when accepting!) Pickup matches!



Let's take one example that I saw:
- VPO-EOS is organized at 15.30 a.k.a. 3.30PM EET; this is 1 hour too late, it needs to be reorganized.
Note: if you have sent more match requests at that faulty time, please cancel them now so tokens are not lost.

- when either of team takes a look at above link (with match times), they notice this time is not correct, as they should send and accept challenges only at that time, that is designated time for their team:

- in other words, LennuK. (EOS) should send and accept Season 4 challenges at 02.30PM (and see those accepted matches being played at that time, when they look at their teams' "regular BB schedule" or friendly matches-page, in where pending match offers can be seen).
For VPO on the other hand, this local time that they see in the friendly matches-page (and eventually on regular BB schedule) would be 01.30PM, because they are 1 hour behind EET time zone.

Example:
When I send challenge, I send it on Season 4 at 2.30PM my time (which is time that I see on post #12 that is linked above and below).
When for example VPO sees it in his friendly matches page, this time appears to him as 01.30PM, which would be correct, because
A) this is the time that he sees in this table (and in participating teams-posts): (329502.12)
B) it's also logical because Italy is 1 hour behind EET time zone, which is a reference time zone in HGL.
(Your local time differences compared to EET time zone are represented in participating teams-posts on both threads, 3rd posts, before the team name and = sign; however, use time on that table, or table linked on A) above when you organize matches.

Always ask if you're unsure of the time, so that we don't end up losing lots of tokens.

Thanks !

I'm, as I hoped, now in League2 (21-1 +747 AND champion !).
Now, the goal is to stay at any cost (excepting recruiting^^) in League2 and make progress to reach Playoffs in 2 seasons...

I just won Second league and am back in B&H First league.

It's a relief financially because I was at -100k weekly at the end of this season.

Had a bit of luck cause my opponent had one important player missing because of injury, but I also played risky and it payed off. I gambled with two Playoff Normals in first two Finals matches, hoping I would win the home match. After that, the difference in enthusiasm was too big not to win the match 3.

He made a mistake by playing Playoff Crunch time in game 2, but he was probably hoping for a win.

Congratulations demars! Convincing 2-0 win in finals - these promotions (yours and KK Stihija's) bring MrJ's HGL teams-posts into mind (where he used to keep track how each of our seasons went in our respective "regular BB leagues"), I wonder if he still updates those...

By the way, have you check out some other League 2-level leagues to already see how high total/top8 salaries they have (and how your team compares)?

Great job - coming back from being down 0-1 in finals and taking the trophy home is job very well done for HG team, especially as we're talking about promoting to "premier league" (Bosna i Hercegovina Prva Liga BiH)! Interesting box score altogether, but what caught my eye was that both teams shot threes combined 0 out of 20.

So due to your win, we are going to have a team in HGL on Season 4 as well that is playing in highest level of their country, as Virtus Portici was relegated from Serie A after this season, and Svätý Jur Snakers (plaing in Slovensko Extraliga) is not participating to Season 4.

Not yet. He is interested in participating, but he didn't state the season yet (and I wasn't aware of Hadár´s cancellation at that moment when I initially asked him, if my memory serves me, so I didn't immediately emphasize quick decision is needed to join for S4). (Having said that, I read in between the lines that he might be ready to join quickly).

I've sent him the most recent message on 17th, but he hasn't logged in since 15th - fingers crossed he will login soon.
Like I said, I would be cautiously optimistic that we'll get this 18th team to join on Season 4, but on the other hand, nothing is ever certain before it's certain.

It's unlikely that none of you would even know him (even if I'd share his team name that probably wouldn't help anyone to reach him on Discord (if he even uses it), so that someone could let him know there's urgent message waiting for him in BB.

No decision has been make how long we would/should wait for his response, but on the other hand, nobody else isn't likely going to come to replace him (unless Hadár for some reason cancels his withdrawal notice).

Still of course if he would join, everybody would need to be left enough time to arrange matches against him before Regular Season begins, so I believe we're talking about few days rather than 5-6, when the reply should come at the latest. I think Hadár had 11 challenging responsibilities, so I also asked him how many tokens he could use - if not many, then current HGL managers would need to step out and challenge him...
