@all HGL managers:
I´m once again doing a follow up on teams, on how we're progressing on our pre-season 6 match organizing project, here: (332267.17).

HGL Threads should now be (at least mostly) set up.

Please let me know if you find any errors. Too many hours writing, copying, pasting, editing links and such, so I might become blind to my own mistakes... ;)

Good luck all HGL teams with your drafts - according to recent post on BB global, we'll likely be wiser about our draft success in 3 to 6 hours or so!

Still not in HGL, but as a hopeful future HGLer... my draft was a bit deflating... I finished last, so was hoping for first pick (there was a very good player, that is already for sale!! (55847277))... but I picked 16th... suppose it is fair, I just played 3 games...

I got anyway (55847303), 19 years old, PG, a 5/4 A+ (4th in my draft list), perennial allstar, which is one of my best players at 64 (48+16).

My second pick was probably even better... (55847301), 19 years old, 4/4 B- (11th in original list) superstar, also one of my best players at 65 (39+26)

Third one, well, just a body, (55847312). He is my 10th player. I am still short 3 players to be happy... but that will be next draft!!!

edit:
curiously, my newly mint Utopia team, with much less draft information, I got 2 MVP and 1 perennial allstar, picking 7th.

@all HGL managers:
I´m once again doing a follow up on teams, on how we're progressing on our pre-season 6 match organizing project, here: (332267.17).

@all HGL managers, important:

I'll try to make a listing this time, to possibly make it more easily readable (?).

- So, as mentioned in above link, on this pre-season I primarily follow teams' match organizing progress on that one post.

- Has anyone happened to check out (verify) all/some Regular Season matches (outside of their own teams' schedule, that is) so that their details (correct day, time and opponents) are precisely correct?

- 4 teams still have missing links from their box score posts (in addition to my team, but as usual, you can ignore that as I keep it empty for as long as possible to make it easier/more clear for everyone to edit it for their teams).

- So now I, and if there are volunteers that feel like they're up for the task and are willing to work with precise and accurate way with this project, need to start checking out box score posts and transferring links to official schedule posts.

- Remember, that after your box score post has been verified as *GTG* (Good To Go for Season 6) on an above linked pre-season follow up-post, meaning all links have been accepted by myself (and by other volunteers, should some match inspectors volunteer now), after that point in time you should not ever change or remove your match links in your box score post without my request.

********

@ED, FRE, VPO and HGK have missing links in their box score posts. Are all these matches already organized?
If they are, please add these links to your box score posts as soon as possible.

Typically I'll try to wait that box score posts would be finished/nearly ready for every team, as that lessens the workload at least a bit, so that I don't have to run several "verification rounds", which can take long time and be more complicated/arduous, if there are only 'bones' in box score poists available when I run it for the first time).


@Brucehum/Torrelles Corsaris:
I'll give you a proper reply, once we're in a better place with the preseason work, as it requires more than couple of lines of text for sure (to reply to you properly).. :)

@all HGL managers:

HGL match verification process is under way. As mentioned, I'll list needed corrections to match organizing/box score verification-post, here: (332267.17).

Everybody, keep on checking your team status there, whether or not it needs corrections, or whether you're good to go (*GTG*) for Season 6. Note that not all possible needed corrections are yet visible in that post as check is not finished.


As usual, it needs to be checked whether or not all match specifics are correct, by comparing them against official schedule.

One HGL manager already volunteered to check box score posts of many teams for errors. He reported some being OK, while from some he reported some errors.

Please note 2 things: this is his report of part of HGL teams box score posts, and I haven't still gone through all matches (box score posts) myself.
I will list teams that he reported as being "OK", because if someone else wants to volunteer checking teams' box score posts, these are teams that one should skip during that inspection round, meaning that one should not need to click match links on box score posts of these teams:
HGK
EOS
BCR
VPO (Round 4 link missing though, but should be OK otherwise)
SAN
VIV
KKS
LGM
VDT.

Problems reported by him:
MAD: Round 6 wrong link
MLS: Round 6 wrong link
WMO: Wrong link for Round 3

So please contact me if you want to check some remaining teams, with the idea that then we have all teams double checked.

As an idea for the Season 6: what do you guys think if we'd invent something new here and there?

For example, we could make preview and/or reports on "Game of the Round" (GOTR) for instance. Some previews have been available now and then, but availability has been depending on time available, like you know. And like always, volunteers on different projects - for example to do these or completely to execute their own ideas only - are always welcome.

And perhaps also take one HGL team per RS Round "under spotlight". Manager in question could say something about their team if they want to, and we could also discuss about their HG and HGL history, their stats, strengths, team composition, potential, age, etc... This way we could possibly learn to know each other even better, what do you guys think?

Any other ideas, anyone?

Wagner, I've bought back my old drafted player (50779071), yet I don't think he will get much HGL playing time. Will also get rid of a couple of younger players, will write an update later, when the player movement stops.

Ok, thank you for letting me know. I corrected the transfer post of Season 5.
Yes, please let me know of the rest of the trading/firing action when it's completed.

@all HGL managers:
Schedule link transfer process is almost finished (and schedule posts will be updated).

As for Season 6, is anyone of you interested in writing some kind of Season preview (?), concerning all teams, expected changes from S5 to S6 in terms of expected success, team composition changes due to transfers and new draftees, etc.? Of course you could write about anything else as well.
Please note though, that salary and age info on Participating teams-posts on both Threads refer to Season 5 salary levels.



And about possible "Team under spotlight" on every Round on Season 6 (suggested here at the first time: (332267.41)), what do you guys think of it?

If someone think it's worth doing, does someone want to "volunteer" to be first/one of the first team to introduce themselves/have discussion about their team?

Does anyone have an idea about optimal order in which teams would be presenting themselves, would it be first new teams, then from descending or ascending order based on last ORSR-rankings?

And what do you think, should we have some kind of list of questions, that managers can reply to if they want to (or write freely)?

Should we also gather some basic historical stats from their team (so make some kind of "regular template", in similar fashion and in addition to "basic questions" template), for example from our GM-LennuK.'s all time team records and stats created by GM-MrJ?
We could also include other basic stats to that comparison, such as
- info about length of current HG stint (when it started) and
- how many season's they've played in HGL,
- all time transfers in their team history (transfers page of their team; total number and total value of trades),
- number of high potential players in roster aged 21 or under,
- top 8 salaries fluctuations during their HGL visit,
- success on each consequent HGL Season up to date (including RS and PO)
- and perhaps many others, including "special notes/interesting info/fun facts" category where we could note something interesting about each team and/or manager that others probably didn't know/have noticed about their team.

@BC Rajaleidjad:
Please correct your box score post ASAP. See here: (332267.17)

@all:
Those who have not yet added Playoff-section to their Season 6 box score posts, please do it. As usual, you can copy paste it from my box score post, which for your convenience is also copied below:

HGL Season 6 Playoffs:

Playoffs (PO) match days for Season 6 of HGL:
(For Playoffs: home team name bolded; home team responsible for sending match challenge)


PO Round 1 (teams ranked 5-12th; 8 teams play) Sunday, October 4th, 2026
PO Round 2 (Quarterfinals; 8 teams play) Sunday, Oct 11th, 2026
PO Round 3 (Semifinals; 4 teams play) Sunday, Oct 18th, 2026
PO Round 4 (Final and Bronze match; 4 teams play): Sunday, Oct 25th, 2026

Abbreviations used for Playoffs scores:
AQR2 =Automatically Qualified to Round 2 of Playoffs
(used by Top 4 teams of RS, on PO Round 1)

NQP=Not Qualified to PO
(teams ranked 13-17th in RS, didn't qualify for PO)

*DNP*=Did Not Play (on this Round)

Match check process now finished and schedule released on schedules-posts on Scores Thread (on familiar places, on first page). If someone feels they can check links for correctness; they have been checked by VR75 (manager of San Fernando VR - big thanks for your help!) before I've moved them to scores-posts.

This means that
A) these, just published schedule posts have not been checked for my errors, and related to that
B) I noticed having made couple of mistakes in adding links to schedule, so someone can click open these links on my schedule posts if they want. It's not mandatory though, everything should be ok.

As I said, I hope no errors remains/were created in my link copying process. I noticed these copying errors were related to the change request I write below the line of stars.

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

@EOS,
KKS,
ED,
RAJ,
SAN:
In my box score post edit request (mentioned at the start of this post) I referred to editing your box score posts little bit:

please separate each round from others, (so simply "press enter" to make some space between rounds, if you use this two line format, thank you).
