@VPO:You still don't have a match link in your box score post, even though Final match is finished.
I have had this request to do so, in HGL Playoff-post, already for a long time, since Tuesday I believe.
@ all HGL/HGL-PL managers:
Possible rule addition #1:This again makes me think it might be necessary to add some kind of warning and/or direct penalty-system to HGL (which would be partly recurring from Season to Season, in the case of warning&penalty-system), like yellow cards in football (soccer) matches from one match to another.
This is because it has already been the case for many teams in this Seasons' Playoffs, and the problem has not only occurred with VPO.
Like MrJ later on (here:
(331391.292)) pointed out, it's even possible to access forum/edit posts by using only BB app.
Nevertheless, requirement of editing your box score post also during Playoffs stays as a HGL rule.

Possible rule addition/clarification #2:Speaking of rules, as far as HGL and HGL-PL goes, I can't recall that we would've ever had a situation where team would've missed box score creation deadline (or maybe one French team once slightly did, but by informing me of it many times before and getting confirmation it's ok to do it slightly late on that special occasion).
We have been on the edge though with many teams many times before, so I hope we all can make sure it doesn't happen in the future.
However, with HGL-PL, we're also facing the situation in where one team (Tassie Devils) has not yet been created his box score post for HGL-PL on Season 5.
BBMails have been sent about the possible disqualification/forfeiting of HGL-PL matches, if HGL-PL duties have not been carried out in time.
I have already sent him many instructions, in addition to the ones sent today (as a last resort) that I'll soon publish in this forum thread as an added reminder to him.
So, where I'm getting into with this?
It is situation we haven't yet have to deal with in HGL, and basically as HGL rules applies most HGL-PL situations, drawing a line on either league probably means it'd be applied to another one as well.
In HGL rules it says:
It is of utmost importance to understand and remember, that every participating team arranges their own Pickup (PU) matches and also take care of sending box score links to appropriate place, on their own season box score post (links to posts here: (331392.6)) and are fully responsible in complying with these important rules which ensures the optimal functionality of the league.
Point is this:
It's/it'd likely be a necessary/good addition to rules (both HGL and HGL-PL), that as long as you haven't created your own box score post for the Season, you will forfeit all matches until you correct that situation.While HGL-PL follows basically the same set of basic rules and mostly also procedures as HGL does, the problem here would also be that this hasn't ever been a clear problem in HGL so far and hence the penalties haven't been applied (nor I'd be sure they would've been clearly defined in rules anyway, as it's been one of the categories that "please don't break this rule so we don't have to start enforcing penalties on it"), and it hasn't also totally clearly been communicated to HGL-PL teams what would cause what (in terms of penalties).
But HGL-PL managers have had a requirement of going through the HGL rules/practices-posts (links also provided to them), and I understand that they should be aware that HGL-PL follows mainly HGL rules/practices when it's not mentioned otherwise in HGL-PL posts, and new managers also accept practices by participating to HGL-PL.
I hope Tassie Devils corrects this situation immediately, so that we don't have to possibily/probably start to enforce new set of penalties immediately.
However, as I mentioned, it might be good rules addition nevertheless. What do you guys think of it?Last edited by Wagner at 7/20/2026 6:34:04 AM
