Thanks Wagner for all the effort in organizing HGL-PL -- it was a fun and interesting tournament.

Congratulations to MLS and SAN and good luck for HGL Season 6!

Thank you for participating, and it became such a thriller at the end - unfortunately for you your excellent attempt fell just a tiny bit short, but for us "spectators" it definitely provided excitement "for the full worth of admission" so to speak!

Like MrJ already noted, we hope to see you participating in HGL-PL (and HGL) in future as well, should you be up for it!

I'll soon release a schedule for HGL Season 6, and it'd be nice if some of us "HGL veterans" (I didn't mean to make us sound so old!;) could take a look at it, so that everything makes sense.

In official BB post "Offseason schedule s72-->s73" it's mentioned that BB season 73 starts on August 8th, so that means HGL Season 6 will begin on August 10th.

We will probably follow a familiar method from Season 4 to S5 transition process:

1. I'll publish match days for S6 here on Season 5 Thread, and someone can double check that for errors.

2. We'll probably end up using same RS schedule - at least I can't recall my opponents (the order of opponents) from Season 5, so I personally wouldn't see "shuffling the schedule" necessary yet for Season 6...

3. Once it's been confirmed by some HGL manager, that match days make sense/are correct, I'll create a box score post for my team.

4. My teams' box score post for Season 6 will most likely be created to Season 6 Scores Thread (yet to be created), but if I don't have time to create Season 6 Threads yet, I'll publish my teams' box score post for Season 6 on Season 5 Thread (Scores or main), so everyone can copy-paste it already to text editing software or similar, and start editing it already.

5. Like before, and like mentioned, you can wait until my box score post is created, and copy-paste the base for your own use, and edit your team name and opponent names for it for each 17 Rounds of Regular Season 6, based on Season 6 RS schedule. Also you of course add match links to your box score post when they have been organized so I can check them out in time.

6. You can start organizing matches immediately when schedule is confirmed to be ready for publishing (see 1. and 3. above), in other words days are correct in it and that fixtures on each Round seem/appear correct (matches are not mixed ever, so checking out one match from each Round should provide good enough certainty that everything's good).

7. Match time for HGL Season 6 will remain the same as on Season 5; your local equivalent of 3.30PM a.k.a. 15.30 EET DST.
Please note: If you are unsure at all what is the correct match time, you can wait until I (Wagner College) have sent you match challenge; this gives you the correct match time. Then you just organize rest of the matches at the same time.

Note also: Season 6 box score posts are necessary to be created to Season 6 Threads.
Never replace your current Seasons' box score post with a new one!
So if you already happen to create a new box score post for your team here on Season 5 Thread, then it wlll be necessary to move it to Season 6 Scores Thread immediately when it's been created, by responding to my (Wagner College) box score post, which will be the first box score post on Season 6 HGl Scores Thread as well.

I can't see any errors, and I see correct changes for the 2 new teams.

All dates look correct too.

All looks good.

Anyone else see any issues?

Thanks for your response. Unless someone replies soon (have spotted errors), I think I'm safe when proceeding with publishing my box score post on Season 6 Scores Thread, which everybody can use as a base in their own box score posts.

Of course EOS, RAJ, or yourself doesn't need to use it as a base as your format(ting of a post) is just as good, but this is instruction for "rest of the pack".

Schedules and my box score post have now been published on HGL Scores Season 6 Official Thread.

Please create an own box score post for your team, by responding to this post: (332268.22).

Like normally, you edit it as needed, and add match links to it when matches have been created by you and your opponents.
Again, if you have # in front of your team name in schedule posts (17 Rounds of matches), it's your responsibility to send the correct Pickup match challenge.

As usual, some essential instructional posts and posts including team links and official match times can be found already (links below), even though Season 6 Threads are still under construction:

What everyone who participates to Season 6 of HGL needs to do now-post: (332268.19).

Announcement 29.7.2026: We're ready to organize all Regular Season matches for HGL Season 6-post: (332268.2).

Links to participating teams-pages for easy match challenging, and official HGL match times for each team: (332268.18).

I have now sent a match offer/request to all of you, and this is the correct match time for HGL Season 6.
Send and accept Pickup matches only at this same time you see our match (vs. Wagner College) match taking place.

Everybody playing on HGL Season 6, please proceed to match organizing process immediately, as we have only 12 days until Season 6 starts.
