Just a few words about BBM Tournament.
Les Gueux du Marais & WimaOlca & my team are all in the same tier, and we all began by 2 wins.

HGL rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !

As for starting with 2 wins, while it took 4 games to reach that milestone on Season 3, all of you aforementioned teams also are at 2 wins in HGL, all of you being within 12 points in scoring difference - couldn't be much more even start of the season for French teams!

Speaking of which, league tables have been updated (here: (328547.4)), and it's been quite even start of the Season in terms of middle ground of teams especially, as 7 (out of 16) teams are currently at 2 wins and 2 losses.

Just to be transparent: I've bought back an old drafted player of mine, (47982774). It is a welcome addition to my weak backbench

Thank you for letting us know - I'll add that to Season 3 transfers-post, when it's published for Season 3.
(Likely transfers-post will be separated from the Salary benefit-post this season, as there are so many players that have been bought back by HGL teams, that I'm struggling to get those to fit in a one post, let alone being able add transfers in the same one).

We had a discussion of different new statistics on a couple of occasions over the past seasons. I have now made a ranking table of different nations, represented by various number of teams over the first 2 Seasons of HGL.

14_____USA_______3___45___8___37___85.3_____111.5___-26.2___0.178

Bosnia i H.=Bosnia and Herzegovina

NoT=Number of distinct teams, GP=Games played, W=Wins, L=Losses, PF/G=Points scored for per game, PA/G=Points scored against per game, PD/G=Scoring difference per game, WLR=Win-Loss-Ratio

I compiled all the scores from the games of the regular season from seasons 1 and 2 of HGL and calculated a win-loss-ratio, which is the main parameter for ranking. Additionally, I gathered points scored and normalized these to the games played by all teams to have a better comparability between nations with different number of teams playing. The point difference normalized to the number of games (PD/G) is currently the secondary parameter for ranking. Games between teams from the same nation still reflect in the statistics, as they automatically count as 1 win, 1 loss and leave a +/-0 point differential. The nations that did not have an active team during the second season are in an italic font. Let me know what you think and if it's interesting enough to keep track at the end of every season.

And sorry for a crappy looking table, which is the BB text editor's fault
