BuzzerBeater Forums

@ Tassie Devils/Tazdevil:
- Please contact me and/or HGL community on this forum thread immediately.
I know you sent me message in where you said "it's best to leave me out of it". But like I said, if you have a serious wish to participate to HGL soon, then I can only repeat that you should participate to HGL-PL on this exact Season, as we have 1-2 open places for HGL, and that is NOT guaranteed on other Seasons.

- What's also important point, is that this is actually a very easy situation to correct, as box score post creation, especially wth this practically ready template created for your team, is a breeze, when you get a grasp of it (which also shouldn't be a difficult thing).

- However, if you don't contact us very soon and also create your box score post very soon (definition of soon is something I'd have to 'pull from the air', as we're going to have to deal with these on case by case-basis currently; see below), then we'd have no chance than to disqualify your team from HGL-PL due to not willing to communicate and solve issues that still exist.

- I want to remind, that things that you face are basic situations, that many managers have struggled to some extent at the beginning. It's normal. Some managers learn it quicker, some need some instructions. That's fine. But the point is that you need to exactly communicate what's wrong, and do that quickly enough, so that one managers actions (wrong actions), or lack of actions, don't cause a halt/harm to HGL or HGL-PL.

- So it puts me to very awkward situation in having to consider how much slack should be given to currently non-communicative manager, who has been so keen to participate earlier (that's actually one of the main reasons why I'm trying to get you over this "finish line" in completing required basic steps of HGL-PL participation, to also prove they are not that difficult).

- So if I don't hear from you, maybe in next few days, and you haven't created a box score post (with correct links; again, ask for assistance from us if there's something you're unsure of) at the very latest on Sunday 26th, 2026, 06.59AM your time (meaning Saturday 25th of July, 11.59PM/23.59 EET DST), then I think that's a strong enough signal from you that you're not even willing to participate anymore.



*********************



@ all HGL-PL managers (and to HGL community, to whom might be interested):

- Tassie Devils (TD) has now logged in (21st of July) after his earlier login on 19th of June. No response from him, and he hasn't created HGL-PL box score post for his team either as per the instructions sent to him (that were also sent to HGL forum that you can see if there are any shortcomings in the replies, and if some additional information should be added - I think it was clear enough to get manager started; what do you guys think of it?).
We have no chance to help manager, who isn't willing to communicate what's the problem. If you read this Tazdevil, please contact me immediately to sort out this box score post issue in time. It is absolutely necessary to create such post, and it is not a difficult process to complete - I have already provided you an almost ready post for copy pasting.

- I don't know if TD accepted Sunday 26th match vs. M.L.S. REICH during his last login, but it is once again one of those matches which has been organized at wrong time (match link: (139778026).
Immediate reorganizing of TD-#MLS on Sunday 26th of July is needed;
officially MLS is responsible for sending match challenge and TD is responsible for accepting CORRECT challenge.
Like I said, this is not going like in the movies (at least in the movies where things go well). So we're aiming to organize this match, even though Tassie Devils might be disqualified from HGL-PL altogether, if he doesn't end up communicating with us to solve this box score post issue.

@HGL-PL managers/to whom might be interested:

Another reminder/ultimatum sent to Tassie Devils/Tazdevil, that clearly defines the ultimate deadline in terms of completing the box score post creation - like you can see, it's stretching all limits in terms of being lenient, and if that timeline isn't followed, then we'll just end up disqualifying his team and turn all his matches to forfeit losses.
Note that links aren't functional here in this post, but they were functional in BBMail sent:


Hi,
There are only couple of things that you need to complete properly, in order to be able to participate (not be disqualified) from this Season HGL-PL.

I wrote to you on HGL forum, and as it's too long to copy here, I'll send you the link, please read it: (331392.218).
Note that you have only maximum of about 56 hours to sort everything out, or you'll be disqualified!

First and foremost, creating your own box score post. I've sent you instructions about it, and you can find instructions as a compiled post from HGL Scores thread too, here:(331391.290).

Also, your Sunday July 26th match is played at wrong time, 2 hours too late.
So organize it 2 hours earlier (see time in your BB schedule,reduce 2 hours from that when you consider if that new match challenge has been sent to you on correct time; if it is not, contact me and impero from MLS inmmediately, by following team link here: (39615).
M.L.S. REICH is responsible for sending match challenge.

I haven't heard from him; I hope he contacts one of us soon.

Thanks for info, me neither like you already know. Hopefully so, with a clear willingness to solve things.
We've all been there - first time can feel confusing, but when you grasp of it, it becomes almost the second nature.

And in this case, it's even easier, as box score post has been already readily edited, so I feel like I've definitely taken the extra mile in order to solve it, and get everybody over the finish line properly. Probably some line needs to be drawn, which requires a bit more from HGL-PL mangers themselves, but at least for the time being as there weren't all that much time to begin with (about 9 days) to organize 3 matches per team, I've tried to be of as much help as possible.

This, on the other hand, makes me having second thoughts to some extent, as in HGL one must be able to do this themselves (editing box score post for their team, based on HGL schedule; of course we help though, if there are any questions). Again, it's not difficult, but one needs to orientate for first time taking some more time (than on further Seasons).

Yes, a line to draw is difficult sometimes. While I do dislike, e.g., the bronze medal match in the WC, I think that here in BB we can do some things differently (and hopefully better). Still, I am always open for constructive feedback (and also criticism), so we can definitely talk about tweaks and even more major adjustments, so don't hesitate to tell me about your ideas. This should in the end be a community output of some sorts and I do not want to force only my own view on the matters.

I thought of other systems, e.g., awarding 3 points for a finals win and 2 points for a loss, so that I could integrate the bronze medal match there with the regular point system too, yet I was a bit unsure about this. So, if you think there is another good way to solve it, let me know.

Hence, Wagner, an any other HGL manager, always let me know if you want some adjustments to the stats and other input that I provide through the forums, I am always open for other/new ideas, as long they are somewhat easy to implement. (y)

I'll respond to you quite soon, but just wanted to let you know I noticed your message..

Hopefully he logs back on soon, realises that it is easier than it appears (especially given the work you have done to make it easier for him) and gets it done. It would be a shame for him to come this close and miss out. Especially, as you noted, in a perfect season to enter. The stars have lined up and now is the time to enter the HGL.

Yes, it is the perfect opportunity for all HGL-PL applicants, including him as there are no "monster" teams participating this time around and it seems more likely by day, that we actually have 2 places open in HGL for Season 6 (as Hårdboll hasn't still responded), but sometimes some things just aren't meant to happen. Hopefully he will complete everything in time though.

With the risk of a repeat, in a way this is a good test though, as it's way easier to handle than HGL (but uses the same framework), so if one is not ready to handle that, then maybe they're not ready to HGL yet.

@all HGL-PL managers:
due to an ongoing issue with Tassie Devils (TD), I haven't updated HGL-PL league tables (in one of HGL-PL posts), because it's still unknown whether or not all TD matches will be forfeit losses for him.

He has been given an ultimatum to correct everything by Saturday 25th 2026, 23.59EET DST.

If Tazdevil doesn't get this sorted (and I really hope he does) it would be a shame that other managers (like Brucehum) who are really keen, could have had their shot.

This is good point too, absolutely.
Also, let's not forget possibly Svätý Jur Snakers, who might have been interested (or might not, I don't know) in participating (not when I asked, but they declared themselves as 100% HG I believe after HGL-PL roster was already locked).
If he participates on later Seasons to HGL-PL, then we might have:
A) no places on offer to HGL, and/or
B) if there would be only 1 place on offer for next HGL Season, then I wonder who would get it... Now at least there would've likely been 2 open spots.
