Yeah, I think I was just thinking about steals, as we usually do well in that skill.

A closer look at all you have linked, Hadar, at it seems most of those are a result of my aging SG, K.Regis. That's cool.

Hopefully, a few more of my players will start featuring in the records as time moves forward...

My bad, even though I only meant "Best collective performance of the evening"-category.
If we compare salary development in percentages, you have by far the biggest jump from Season 1 to S2, and I´m looking forward for that to happen on S2->S3 as well.

How do I know this? LennuK. from BC Eos has now calculated Top 8 salaries for Season 2 for us, and also calculated salary development/changes in percentages. As a cherry on top of cake, we also have Top 8 players average ages for Season 2 as well (on Season 1 separate post was written about it), as he provided that information simultaneously.
So based on that information, I have updated "Total of 16 teams will take part to Season 2 of HGL"-posts on both official threads, and will release some salary comparison tables soon. Thank you LennuK. for your contribution, all these kind of things are appreciated a lot!

Also, @Hadár: It's great that you want to keep on releasing extra stats for every Round of Regular Season, that won't ever leave unnoticed by me even though I might not comment about it on every round, and such things make HGL even better/more interesting.

LennuK. from BC Eos provided us some freshly calculated Season 2 salaries and Top 8 players average ages-data, so based on that I created couple of HGL teams comparison tables.

First team abbreviations-listing, and below that actual comparison tables:

HGL teams abbreviations:

D = Madrid Chotis
ED = Elan Demars
EOS = BC Eos
FRE = Freccia Azzurra
HAD = Svätý Jur Snakers
HB = Hårdboll
KKS = KK Stihija
LGM = Les Gueux du Marais
LMS = Lielupes Melnas Sirdis
RAJ = Rajdersi
SRS = Swan River Serpents
SUM = Suuret Muinaiset
TRO = Club Trouville
VPO = Virtus Portici
WAG = Wagner College
WMO = WiMaOlca


Top 8 players salaries::

*=Please note, team did not participate on HGL Season 1. However, salary information has been collected for these teams during Season 1, so therefore we are able include them in this comparison.


Top 8 players salary development from Season 1 to Season 2, in % (+/-):

Age comparison tables:
(These tables utilize both earlier available Season 1 age data (my age comparison post on Season 1) and Season 2 Top8-earners average age data provided by LennuK.

Average age of Top8-salary players on Season 2 of HGL:

Team Aver.age(T8-S2)
LMS 22,6
EOS 23,3
FRE 25,1
SRS 25,4
KKS 25,5
RAJ 25,9
D 26,0
SUM 26,0
LGM 27,1
TRO 27,4
WMO 27,9
ED 28,1
WAG 29,4
HAD 30,0
VPO 31,5
HB 32,0


Season 1 to Season 2 change in average ages:

Team Age change S1>S2
WAG -1,1
ED -0,4
SUM -0,4
D -0,1
TRO 0,4
RAJ 0,9
SRS 0,9
HAD 1,0
LGM 1,0
LMS 1,0
WMO 1,0
EOS N/A
FRE N/A
HB N/A
KKS N/A
VPO N/A

N/A=age data from Season 1 not available; average age change wasn't calculated for Season 2.

Please note, that if you use this table to get an idea of possible/likely future development of team in terms of salary development, and compare this table together with S1>S2 salary development table, it is often times good combination if salary development for team has been very positive from last season while simultaneously average age of top8-players drops, as it suggests team is able to stay young or actually even get younger while simultaneously successfully training Top8 players.
I think for instance SUM and ED are a good example of teams with positive development (from Season 1 to Season 2-comparison). Of course it's not that simple as it doesn't take into account the whole picture, including player potentials, but that's still something to consider.

🏀 Season 2 Showdown: Who Will Reign Supreme in the Home Grown League? 💰

PRIZES!!! PRIZES!!! PRIZES!!!

Welcome back to the hardwood hustle where legends are made and rivalries reignite—Season 2 of the Home Grown League is here, and it's about to be bigger, bolder, and richer than ever.

After a lengthy consultation process involving HGL Commissioner Wagner and the HGL Organisation Committee (HGLOC), the following can be announced:

💸 Champion’s Prize: Cash Glory Awaits The team crowned Champion of Season 2 will not only earn the title but also secure a major financial reward. It’s our way of recognizing the grit, heart, and sheer dominance of the top squad.

PRIZE = 3 months of Supporter OR 1 year Second Team

🔥 From Local Roots to League Royalty This isn’t just a game—it’s a movement. Home Grown League celebrates raw talent, community pride, and the fire that drives grassroots basketball. Every bounce, pass, and buzzer-beater counts toward history.

🏆 Be the Team That Defines This Season Step onto the court and prove your worth. The path to victory won’t be easy—but for the team that rises above, glory and riches await.

Let Season 2 begin! Let legacies be built! Let champions be rewarded...


...3 months Supporter or 1 Year Second Team!

Round 2 matches just behind the corner; on Season 1 we had few very close ones on Round 2, and on Season 2 we're going to have exactly the same matchups (of course excluding the new-to-HGL teams).

SUM vs. ED was a very close one last season, ED winning by 2 points.
RAJ vs. WMO was another nail biter, as RAJ won by only 3.

As for new Round 2 matchups on Season 2, if we compare teams only by comparing salaries, LMS vs. EOS should be very close one as teams are extremely close to each other in Top8-salaries, $254K and $249K, respectively.

You wouldn't think teams could be closer to each other in salaries, but that myth is actually broken on another Round 2 matchup, FRE vs. D with Top8-salaries of $237K and $236K. This is, as far as I know, the most equal match ever played in HGL in terms of Top8 salaries, so we'll see, if the decision would even come by buzzerbeater in either of the two matches!

Few close ones during Round 2 as expected, however, this time we also had some unexpectedly (for me at least) big wins in supposedly somewhat equal matchups (as far as salaries are concerned).
Anyway, league tables are updated again, and thanks Hadár once again for your special statistics for Round 2!

I've created a thorough team salary benefits and transfers-post for HGL Season 2, which can be found from here: (327516.4).

As for someone who might be TLDR-type of person, here's a quick recap of it:

Teams receiving salary benefit on HGL Season 2:

Note:'Plus' means that team has gained salary advantage by purchasing back own previous players, 'minus' means they do not benefit from such purchases currently.


1. Virtus Portici: total salary benefit plus $245183 (team top8 wages: $473K)

2. BC Eos: total benefit plus $43489 (team top8 wages: $249K)

3. Rajdersi: total benefit plus $112 (team top8 wages: $342K)

4. Wagner College: total minus $6520

5. WiMaOlCa: total minus $24501

6. Elan Demars: total minus $115999


If team name is unavailable on the list above, it hasn't got any re-purchased own draftees in their current roster.

Please remember: if you buy players (HGL eligible players only, of course), it is your duty to inform HGL Commissioner of such purchases so that aforementioned post on HGL rosters and purchases can be updated in the future!

Very good question Spela! Actually the only place where you are required to enter your season scores is your own box score post. You only need to enter the score (in numbers) there after the match is played, like for example here in my box score post: (327517.14).

So actually it is not a requirement anymore (we dropped the requirement during HGL Season 1) to send a separate box score post (such as for example this: (327517.48)) to a scores thread. However, if you want you can still send a separate post for each match as well (and I encourage everyone to do so who are willing to take the time to do it).

Please remember though, that even if you´d send a separate box score post ("report of single match score") to scores thread, you still are required to fill your own box score post with match scores. So in other words, if you absolutely want to minimize the effort used for HGL, you can stick with practice of only adding scores of matches to your own box score post.

I'm glad to hear you enjoy the ride and reading official threads, and I'm sure it's going to be an interesting season for you as you have very respectable team also in terms of salaries (Top8-players salaries 3rd in whole HGL!). If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask them here on official threads or send BBMail to me. As mentioned, we have many active, experienced and AFAIK very knowledgeable managers here in our HGL community, and most of the times someone will be able to respond you sometimes even very quickly if I don't happen to be online.
