As mentioned, I contacted HB about his continuation in HGL.
It was the case, that I did not understand with 100% clarity what he meant with his BBMail reply, and asked for his re-confirmation on it (whether he wants to continue or not on Season 6) because I don't want to make rushed decisions on such important matters (as giving away his place in HGL, if that's not what he meant). I have my doubts on what his reply meant, but it's better to be safe than sorry here.

I wish he would reply here on forum, but
@Spela:
you can also send me BBMail if you prefer, as long as you hopefully reply soon on your willingness to either
A) continue in HGL on Season 6, or
B) quit in HGL (at least for now) and not participate to HGL Season 6?

To quote myself above, still no reply from Spela (HB), and how could there be, as he has only logged in on 28th of June. (There have been several long no-login intervals in his recent BB history, it seems - that can work at some points of the Season, but during PO or pre-season it certainly doesn't).

As far as his continuation in HGL, it doesn't look good. I have welcomed him to continue (naturally), mentioning that the requirement is that he does have enough time to organize matches on pre-season normally (just as the requirement has been for all, always).

I asked him to reply immediately when he logs in next time. Again, I wish he would reply here in HGL forum to state his decision.

As an update of situation with Hårdboll, he has logged in on 8th of July, but still no response. He has been sent another reminder on his willingness to participate to Season 6 (also welcoming him aboard on Season 6 as well if he has time to organize matches normally).
However, as I said, it does not look good, as he has seem to quit communication. We'll have to see how long we're going to wait for his response in this unfortunate situation. However, of course that doesn't prevent HGL-PL from being played, but just like in life, everything affects everything, so becoming non-communicative is not exactly what we're hoping to see in HGL (and there are limits to what we can tolerate in that regard, to keep league functioning in a good/reasonable level).

Thanks for info.
It seems you've sold also Andrey Konashenko, also on May 27th.

HGL-PL interest announcing-window for all teams have now been closed, and Pickup match organizing window/process for first ever HGL-PL (played between July 20th and July 26th, 2026) has been now opened.

This of course doesn't require any actions from managers that are already playing in HGL.

4 interested teams (that are also willing to accept place in HGL) have been contacted by BBMail (and HGL-PL schedule post updated) with further instructions on how to proceed. Also, post has been sent to Homegrown teams II-thread (by LOPO_) to announce that teams for first ever HGL-PL have now been locked.

I have understood that all of those managers have grasped the basic understanding of match organizing process, and basic HGL practices/rules, but of course as always, challenges may appear, so let's keep our ears open here on the HGL threads in the case some HGL-PL managers need assistance.

As a repeat/reminder, you can find more information about HGL-PL from
here: (331392.19),
here: (331392.20), and
schedule/league table from here: (331392.21).

It seems you've also sold Lachy Walshe on May 16th, 2026.

Bugger! thought I'd noted that already. Sorry.

Sometimes real life gets in the way, but I just hope everyone would announce their transfers, as that's the current requirement. To be realistic though, when I think of previous 5 Seasons, it would be no big surprise to see some unannounced roster changes on HGL teams' rosters, when once again scanning team transfers/rosters for "roster eligibility" (before Season 6).

I appreciate your understanding, Wagner. Yes, changes are inevitable as teams trim some fat.

I am getting excited about the upcoming draft. I have now secured Pick 2. I could stay in Div II, but discovered a gun draftee and decided that securing him was more important that staying in Div II. Only time will tell whether it was the right decision. I also believe that I can bounce straight back to Div II in Season 74. I have had some valuable pops to bigs Hunter and Livingstone, and to the X-Man who (according to BuzzerManager is capped) is still popping! Add the successful training improvements for 20yr old Georgijev (HOF guard) and future Guard backup (Leyshon), and the Kings are set to start roaring...

...we just need to secure this GUN Draftee!!!

Sounds like your yearly salary rise will be quite rapid from now on (as it has been in the past as well, percentage wise especially, which to me is better/more interesting measurement anyway instead of the actual salary rise in $), in addition to securing your future foundation (that'll start to completely flourish within next 6-8 seasons), should you be able to get this "weapon" that you're currently after.
