I can understand the vision of Deano25 but once the season will be started, I'm sure we'll be glad that it is meticulously organised so thank you for the hard work you produced Wagner ! Furthermore, maybe the "standards" you are creating for the league can be a part of the fun we'll have playing in it. It makes it more official.

Now let the HGL begin and good luck to everyone

Wagner, not for a second am I questioning how much time you are putting into this. It is clear it is way more than any other manager, but no one is asking you to do that. I’m just expressing how I’m feeling about this league. If we’re worried about the super long forums and how hard it makes it to find things, maybe a single response to my post instead of - was it three or four - may have been sufficient.
I don’t want to debate this. Play the league how you will. I’ll make the adjustments necessary in time so games against me are authentic and don’t ruin the experience for other managers, but then I’m out.

Some updates on what still is waiting to be completed, 6.4.2025 at 16.50 EET (only non-urgent minor issue):

@Deano 25 (EDIT 6.4.2025):
2 links are not functional (due to extra space after '=')in your box score post. This is definitely not a big deal, nor is it urgent as it's just most important to have the right information in there (as you now do), but maybe you can fix it in some later time, here: (326590.56).

Thank you Coach Faz,
I'm very glad to hear some managers share my views on positive sides of creating and retaining some standards to HGL - I completely share that view with you, and I also totally agree that it can add to the fun aspect of it, as for me also it makes HGL feel more like "the real thing". Often times in life, the more you put into something, the more you can get in return.

As some might have already noticed, I have finalized a rule/penalties set for Season 1 of HGL, which consists of 4 posts; this one (326589.7) and 3 following posts (all titled "Additional rules and penalties for violations").

Please don't be intimidated by the word count, it is mainly due to conversatory nature of my writing style and actually introduces only few penalty levels. Also, as you can see, post 3/4 will not apply hardly any (or any) of us during Season 1, but it might be very useful information especially for new managers with small rosters considering joining HGL in the future.

I have also updated Top8 salaries and teams receiving salary benefit-information to this post: (326589.4). Thanks again MrJ for providing us that top8 salary data!

@all HGL participating managers - countdown is at 2 days currently! I hope we can get everything finalized before that, that's mentioned in this post: (326589.68).

Amagad !!!!

I've just made my first lineup for the HGL (weird name...), and my opponent's 2 best players have the same salary as my entire team (glups).

Like in Game of Throne, I would say "Hodor", but I'm not sure it will be enough to win...

@all participating managers of HGL:

Now we are officially finished in our match organization process, so everything is ready for Season 1 of HGL! :)
Thank you for everyone's co-operation during the match organization process.

I wrote a short (come on, it's a relative term;) Announcement which serves as an intro for the Season 1, found from here: (326589.2).

Let's keep discussion alive on this thread - like I've said, for me this is going to be mentally my "premier", most important league in Buzzerbeater from now on, and I'm very much looking forward to playing against (or rather, with) you guys!
Best of luck to all of you for Season 1!

I know, I'm just starting to learn to live with the fact that it's not BBHG ;)
[....]and my opponent's 2 best players have the same salary as my entire team (glups).

That's a good point! I was actually thinking that in addition to Top8 salaries (that MrJ already counted for us) it would be interesting to add as a comparison Top2 or Top3 salaries, as it would show us how sharp of an edge team has (in a form of best players) and would allow dramatic and interesting comparisons to be made easily.
Let's see if I have time to do that later, or calculate average age for Top 8 players/team, which would also be interesting data!
