@all HGL managers:

We will be running HGL Season 5 with same teams (18), and now that the creation of schedule has been under work, I based it on something I found from official off-season schedule post by BB. It says:

"May 2 (Sa): First league game day of the new season."

So traditionally HGL has started on following Monday, and I don't see why that should be changed.

Based on that I created a list of game days for Season 5, which I copied below.
It'd be great if at least some/someone of you guys would like to double check that schedule below for errors.
It's again 17 Round RS schedule, as there aren't team additions for S5.


Here's the schedule, that will be used for Season 5 if there aren't any faults found from it:

Regular Season (RS)

RS Round 1: Monday, May 4th, 2026
RS Round 2: Friday, May 8th, 2026

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

As far as challenging responsibilities on Regular Season are concerned, LA-LennuK. (BC Eos) assigned those to teams for our Season 4 schedule (thanks LennuK.!).

In the list below there are at least approximate numbers of challenges per team (I can't recall if some single change has happened after writing these down, but it should be pretty much on point).

If you have any difficulties using as many challenges also on Season 5 RS, please let me know immediately and we can see what we can do. Here's the list of current challenge responsibilities, that will also most likely be used for Season 5 if nobody objects:

WAG: 17
EOS: 16
WMO: 11
VPO: 11
ED: 11
HAD: 11
LGM: 11
RAJ: 10
LMS: 10
TRO: 9
FRE: 5
ALA: 5
KKS: 5
VDT: 5
VIV: 4
MAD: 4
HB: 4
HGK: 4


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

PS. Everybody remember to follow this HGL Thread, because we will start organizing new HGL Season 5 soon, and like you all know, everybody needs to do some work with match organizing during pre-season!

I can send more than 11 challenges, if necessary.

My problem is that i use the app to play BB. I don't get forum notifications, and I can't read and write post on the forum.

So I apologize for the delay in responding.

I think that many HG teams are more stronger than last season, so i am sure that i could lost some matches next season.

I can't notice myself on challenge responsibilities list. Anyways, I've 100+ tokens left and I'm happy to use them.

once again, BIG THANKS for your great job.

As Trailblazer said, more than 100 tokens for me, if you need I can use them

Letting you know of a transfer I made that I bought back my ex-draftee Taavi Noorhani (54469202) to bolster my game for the coming season.

Yes, he is a valuable addition, when I drafted him, he would have been the perfect trainee as a big, though I was still training my guards back then and had to let him go. I was hoping from the beginning to get my hands on him again, when he is 22 yr old, not expecting him to be on such a high salary. Now, after being stuck in the third division this season, I will now try to go for the push to reach the first division in the next seasons. Another opportunity such as this one as a HGL team might not come soon.

Great work, Wagner. All the dates seem right.

Thanks for checking that out.


@all HGL managers, important:

We´re going to use same schedule as on Season 4.

We´ll see if we will start organizing matches based on Season 4 Scores Threads' schedule (to save some time), or that should we proceed with typical method, that I'll release Season 5 Thread first and then we'd start organizing matches.

Whatever the method will be, I think it's best this time for me to send challenge to all teams (as I do challenge every Regular Season opponent of mine, in other words I have 17 challenge responsibilities on 17 RS matches), and then everybody sees from their BB schedule what is the correct match time for Season 5, and based on that they can organize rest of their Regular Season matches.

Thank you for token usage information.

That's questionable design choice from BB side then, I didn't know that. I suppose you're responding from computer now (just as you have been each time you've responded something to forums)?
