TBA #7 (Playoffs post/schedule).

HGL Season 3 Playoffs:

PO Round 1 (teams ranked 5th-12th; 8 play): Sunday, December 14th, 2025
PO Round 2 (quarter-finals; 8 teams play): Sunday, December 21st, 2025
PO Round 3 (semifinals; 4 teams play): Sunday, December 28th, 2025
PO Round 4 (final and a bronze match; 4 teams play): Sunday, January 4th, 2026

Please remember to organize new Playoff matches every single week, if you keep on winning (or lose in semifinals) and are still participating on this Season's Playoffs!

Remember: match time will remain same (3.30PM EET DST) during Playoffs, but because DST (Daylight Savings Time) is not observed when Playoff match organizing begins, match times for Season 3 Playoffs will be your local equivalent of 2.30PM EET (so for instance in Poland and France, which are 1 hour behind of EET, Playoffs match time on Season 3 will be 1.30PM).
(During Season 3 most Regular Season matches will take place in practice 2.30PM EET, but in HGL we don't change official match times in a midst of a regular season).

Also remember, Playoff matches are played on Sundays only!

Note: Please keep on adding your Playoff match links as soon as match has been organized (so that I can verify it and copy-paste it to official HGL schedule), and scores of matches to your team's own Season box score post.

When organizing matches for Playoffs, please remember to be especially accurate with correct match court balance (always home/away for Playoffs matches!) as I can not verify that before match has started; remember that scores on wrong court balance will not be accepted!

Official Regular Season Rankings (ORSR) for Season 2 Playoffs match organizing purposes.
NOTE: This table will be used throughout the Playoffs to determine which team will meet which.
*Table will be published after Regular Season Round 15.*

TBA #8 (Some things to note and remember when sending box score links-post)

We'd like to ask you to follow certain routines/rules when sending box score links and scores to this Thread so that we could make process a bit more manageable to a league Commissioner and to ensure smooth and fair functioning of HGL.

So in addition to what has been mentioned before, there are some things to note and remember when sending box score links, and also few reminders/tips on how we can make operation of HGL as smooth as possible:

1. For Season 3 it is not a requirement for you to send a separate box score posts for each match to a HGL Scores Thread, but all managers are required to add HGL match links and match scores to their own box score posts. When doing that, keep these requirements in mind:
A) all Regular Season match links need to be sent prior to season beginning
B) managers are required to add scores of matches to box score post after they have been played
C) especially during playoffs it is necessary to send box score links to matches within certain time frame (timeframe during Playoffs likely at the very least on Friday) so that I can ensure before the match that match specifics (teams, day, time) are correct.

2. Remember, that PU games are not visible to other users than for the teams involved in the match, so either you or your opponent must send the link to the box score, as nobody else can do it. If you notice it being sent to a wrong thread (other than this), please do send it again in this correct forum thread.

3. In some (unlikely) cases it might be necessary for a league Commissioner to send you a reminder by BBMail or on official league thread 'Home-Grown League (HGL) Season 2 Official Thread', if no box score link to match has been sent to this forum thread.

4. Please also bear in mind, that it is not a duty/obligation of a league Commissioner to send such reminder posts/BBMails, but managers involved in a match are responsible for sending box score links within the required timeframe.

5. Based on discretion, during Playoffs league Commissioner can also accept box score links sent to the aforementioned, official league forum, but as a basic rule All box score links should be sent on this Scores Thread only, and to be more precise to your own season box score post.
In other words, if you are in a real hurry when organizing urgent match for Playoffs, you are allowed to send box score link of match to Scores Thread as a separate post, but be aware that it doesn't release you from the obligation to add it to your own season box score post (as soon as you can).

6. It's the aim of the league Commissioner to update the league table within a decent timeframe of played matches to keep it relatively current.
Given that all updates to league table are done manually, please be prepared to it that updates practically won't ever happen as quickly as in a regular Buzzerbeater league.

7. As an important reminder: all us managers organize all Regular Season matches during one time window before the regular season starts, so when every manager does this properly, all the regular season matches will be played in time (I´ll check each match specifics before season starts). Please be careful with match court balance (neutral during Regular Season!) as I can't check that before match!

8. Lke mentioned before, Playoffs is the riskiest time of the year for HGL, so we´d like to ask you to set up some reminders (on phone, computer, calendar, etc.) so that you remember to arrange Playoff match for your team each and every week (unless you lose before semifinals, which is the last match of the season for your team).

9. Enjoy, have fun, ask questions if needed and keep on the conversation on our newly established Official HGL Thread, here: (328546.1)! Good luck for each team, and see you in our forum thread!

TBA #13 (What everyone who participates to Season 3 of HGL needs to do now-post)

Season 3 HGL Threads (main and scores thread) have now been set up, so HGL related conversation will mainly take place in those Threads from now on.

What everyone who participates to Season 3 of HGL needs to do now:

1. At least briefly check out your season schedule (posts 5 and 6 on Season 3 Scores Thread, link at the end of post); I didn't notice anything special/faulty in it, but having another eyes to check it too doesn't harm.
(Note: Basically we should be good to go, as I re-used Season 2 Schedule by editing it as little as possible considering we have 1 joining team, but anyone possibly spotting any problems please let me know. I did however change challenge responsibilities of a HGL joining team VIV from 0 to 12, as SRS had 0 challenge responsibilities on Season 2, as BUC used to have 12 responsibilities/regular season).

2. Create an own box score post for your team, just like during Seasons 1 and 2.
As an idea for your convenience (and to retain preferred standard for HGL) you can respond to this message (328547.14) and from that post of mine copy-paste everything below * * * * * * * to your own box score post (and only change your team name/abbreviation, opponent name for each Regular Season round, and add match links to it as soon as matches for Season 3 have been organized by you and your opponents).
If you need a memory refresher on how your box score post for the season works/how you edit it once you have box score links to add, you can read this post: (328546.13).

3. Familiarize yourself with match organization process if it's new thing for you or if you need a refresher (guide currently available on 'Announcement'-posts on both Official Threads) and ask questions (if needed) preferably before you'll start the process.

4. Start organizing HGL Regular Season matches (sending and accepting Pickup match challenges, 15 per team during Season 3)

As you all have likely noticed (when being on this Thread), you'll find Official Season 3 HGL Threads from here:
Home-Grown League (HGL) Season 3 Official Thread: (328546.1)
HGL Scores Season 3 Official Thread: (328547.1)

@all participating managers: you need to provide a similar kind of list (as seen below, underneath the line of stars), a.k.a. your team's own box score post before Season 3 on Season 3 HGL Scores-thread. For new-to-HGL managers nstructions on how to easily create this is found on previous messages, (326590.42) and (326590.43). Please note that while instructions remain correct in previous links, they refer to Season 1 match days.

But to put it in short, you're free to copy-paste this into your HGL Season 3 box score post (now that Official Season 3 Scores Thread is published), and then just change your team name to replace 'WAG', and your opponent name for each round, and add match box score link (match number) instead of 'xxx' (at [match=xxx]) to all Regular Season matches when matches have been organized.

I'd like everyone to follow this sort of structure (in your own box score posts) to keep it easier for me to interpret. You may edit it in some ways if you want, but please keep all essential information in it and preferably formatting of the post relatively same (as below).

Eventually you'll need to keep on adding scores of the matches to your own box score posts during the whole season when matches have been played.

Season 3 league schedule is now published, so every manager participating on HGL Season 3 should now start creating their own box score post by responding to this post, as this is an essential pre-season task for everyone.


So, here are finally match days for Season 3 of HGL, and you may copy-paste everything below line of stars below to your own Season 3 box score post:


* * * * * * *


Here are box score links to my HGL Season 3 matches and match scores:

NQP = Not Qualified to Playoffs
(teams ranked from 13th to 16th positions on Regular Season, who did not qualify for Playoffs)

*DNP* = Did Not Play/Did Not Participate (on this Playoff Round)
(use this abbreviation instead of entering their score of the round, if they have not played this Round match due to losing in the previous Playoff Round, and therefore being out of this season's Playoffs permanently)
