Well, thanks for getting this organised, Wagner.

Firstly, I hope T-Lit is all good and it is just RL stuff (have said as much in bbmails to him) and that we see him back here in the forums and HGL soon! Probably just really enjoying his 4th of July!

To everybody playing in the HGL Season 2:

I apologise for not having enough tokens. In my defense, I wasn't playing in this upcoming season. This is why I spent all I had in tactic testing and with other managers, and why I won't have many this season either. However, I will aim to have at least 15 tokens for Season 3 and I'm happy to challenge everyone in that season to make up for it.

Okay, to the business at hand. Like I said, I wasn't planning on playing this season and you will all likely beat up my boys yet again But that's okay, my time will come.

I have posted my game schedule. I have already received 2 invites and have accepted the one from Wagner initially to ensure the game times are still correct. (I'm also secretly holding out---for 1 more hour---in case T-Lit responds and is ready)

If you haven't sent me an invitation yet, please check Wagner's posts and do so as soon as you can. Thank you.

Oh, and it's great to be back in the HGL so soon!

By the way, I have created a thread to store HGL Achievements. Hope you don't mind, Commissioner.
Thread is found here: (327663.1). Let me know if you want it to show something different? Different format? Additional info?

It also includes a Season 68 Wrap-Up of how all the HGL teams have gone in their respective leagues and countries this Season. I included the 5 new HGL teams, too.

I created it as the HGL threads have so much info everywhere relating to the HGL specifically. I really want to showcase the HG Community and our achievements. Hence the new thread.

I would love for all HG teams to promote their successes. It could be League Championships, CUP Championships, BBM Championships, U21 NT Selections, NT Selections...
(IF any of you have Championships that you have won over the seasons as a 100% HG Team, please go to the above thread and let me know and I will update them).

Anything. The more we promote our community, perhaps the larger it will become.

Mate, like I said in the bbmail...RL is RL. Just good to hear you're all good. There will always be other seasons.

Thanks for your response, I sent you BBMail. But just like MrJ already said, this is just a game and RL is RL, which is only thing that matters at the end. But if you´d be willing to join HGL in the future, I hope you'd set up some alerts etc. so that you remember to start the pre-season match organization on time, because that's a small work to do in order to avoid more work for others.
Having said that, I don't know if alerts would've saved Season 2 on your part, but for many it could've (possibly/likely being in different situation as you were anyway) done that, so that`s why reminding of reminders/alerts is worth it.

You're probably aware that I keep a list of teams that are interested in joining HGL in the future, so please send me BBMail or respond here in this thread if/whenever you have decided if you want to be included in the list (and please specify season you´d prefer to start on).

Thanks for your initiative, MrJ. I love stats and sports history records, so they're always good addition, and make the experience so much more rich to myself, and I believe (know) that I'm not alone in that one.

Having them on different thread definitely has it's downs and likely up's, so while I'm bit unsure if it's best to divide HGL related things to too many threads, in a way I see your point(s) of doing that. And like I said, I acknowledge it might have up's as well, as maybe someone might end up reading that thread and become interested of HGL that way ((if those who find their way there will realize/have a way to find out what HGL actually is (in short) without leaving the thread, or have a link to HGL pages in there)), and it's easier to find those stats information from that thread if people first happen to find there.

As is sometimes the case with life, I'm having hard time sharing my attention to HGL right now. Of course I'll have to find time and energy to finalize pre-season checks and tasks (yes, been here already some time doing that and it's 01.40AM), but what that means in practice I can't focus on many other things with lots of energy and thought (which would be sometimes required if giving a thorough and thoughtful response is a goal).

You're doing a great job as Commissioner...as always, Wagner. As for the HGL Achievements thread, I will put links in there so people are directed to find out more about this league.

Let me know if I can help in anyway.

To all HGL teams (past and present),

This is just a friendly reminder that that Championship data has been updated on the HGL ACHIEVEMENTS page found here: (327663.1).

Feel free to check it out.

Please let me know if you have any Championships that you have won as a 100% HG team, and I will add them to the records.

Thank you MrJ. Yes, very good idea to add links to several places.

Not to say that anyone would be required to do these, but things that need to be done are to check out/verify for correctness (day, time) every single match link from each teams' own box score posts (note: WiMaOlCa will post his box score post later) so total of 240 entries/links given that all would be already available (not all are, most are though).

Also all non-correct/missing match links need to be reported to the official thread or directly to manager in question. I already contacted all opponents who had not challenged SRS, and received already some replies.

Then what I only can do, is to add correct match links to schedule posts (120 matches).

Perhaps you can consider creating some roles and responsibilities? If some of us do a little bit, it will reduce the workload, particularly around this time prior to the new season...

As for checking the times/dates, how about we divide it up? If there is anyone else who wants to chip in, we could make that job quicker and easier.

Three people checking 5 teams each, for example, would ease your pain.
