By the way, I have created a thread to store HGL Achievements. Hope you don't mind, Commissioner.
[....]
Anything. The more we promote our community, perhaps the larger it will become.

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.

We can do that if there are people ready to jump in to help. But it's something that needs to be done carefully.

Checking out every match in every teams' schedule and also reporting and keeping a log about mistakes and and missing links, and whether they have been corrected at the end is a lot of work especially at the time when you don't seem to have time for anything. Especially when you have to fight with BB text editor "specialities" (problems).

I can proceed now to add match links without first checking each and every link from all teams box score. If nobody has done it before I finish my link project, then I'll start working on that afterwards.

EDIT: I can not believe this BS BB-text editor. If you check out schedule post 2/2 now you can see my point.
Whenever I go to edit that post, it shows up as it is supposed to, and does also when I press preview, and then also after I send it again, it also shows up normally (only that text is bolded what's intended).
However, when I go to next page of thread and come back, all text seems to be bolded. Nice one, BB. Does anyone know what this is all about? It would make sense to see it totally bolded after sending it again (after editing), if there would be problem with usage of [ /b].

EDIT #2: Also checked the amount of [ /b] and [ b], both 109 in that post, so that doesn't explain the problem to me either..

EDIT #3: Another problem, not first time to appear, but in the case of this post it's critical.
Schedule post 1/2 seemed fine so far, but now that I added match link to first match of the league WAG-TRO, it bolded ALL text in post before that and 3 matches below that first one. Other text below that seems to stay unaffected. Who knows what happens if I add more links.
Does sound super logical, yes? I just absolutely love to F around with these useless 90's style text editors... any tips how to solve this easily are appreciated.

EDIT #4: One solution seems to be available, even though it's ridiculous having to do it that way.
First posts shows almost normally (almost correctly bolded), but when I go away and click myself back to scores thread and scroll down, then for RS Rounds 4-15 everything shows bolded.

BUT workaround is this: click the link of the post on the title line of the post, in this case this number: 327517.6 . This takes you to to a page where that post will be first one on the page. And at least for me it shows post 2/2 correctly bolded that way, but it's utterly ridiculous having to try to find such workarounds.

Update on pre-season process:
I added all match links to official scores thread, but please note that I didn't yet check almost any of the match specs (correct time and day; 1 match of Swan River Serpents is due to known problems accepted to be played 55 minutes before the official HGL match time) from every teams' own box score posts, so for now I basically trusted match specs are ok and that needs to be verified at later time.

If you have not sent all challenges for Season 2 yet, and league schedule seems to you as completely bolded, see workaround from my previous post, on EDIT #4, here: (327516.41).

If you want to go through teams box score posts (to verify match specs are correct), you may do so voluntarily to help with the pre-season process. Nothing is required of anyone (of any "regular manager") though. But if you will participate in that project, please do the work carefully to avoid mistakes in inspection process.

I went through almost all of them last night and didn't find a single issue. Would be great if others did this too. It is easy to make mistakes. However, it is looking good, Wagner.

I checked the dates and times of all of the matches yesterday too and everything seemed to be right for me too.
