Announcement 23.3.2025:

We are now ready to organize all regular season matches for HGL Season 1!

If you´re unsure about process, please read: (326589.6), (324689.633) or ask questions on official HGL threads.


Info on organizing HGL regular Season 1 matches:

Very important: If you are responsible for organizing a PU game, you need to schedule it for the time listed on this page (in front of your team name): (326590.2)!

1. MrJ has produced schedule (15 matches/team), here:(324689.513).
Schedule (with links to team websites) can be found also from post by T-Lit: (326590.21).
Please note:
A) use either above mentioned schedules with bolded text when organizing matches. In these schedules the team that has bolded name, is responsible for sending Pickup match challenge, and your opponent is responsible for accepting it.
(Do not use this, otherwise official schedule, here: (326590.5) when organizing matches.
B) note, that above schedules do not include match time.

For each team an Official Local Time is provided, which they use when sending PU match invitations. Found (before team name), here: (326590.2).
Use only this time given to your team specifically, and nothing else, when organizing Pickup matches!


2. Before team sends or accepts match challenge, it is important to check out specifics of a match.
That means 3 things:

A) is day correct in a sent challenge? (check your own HGL schedule to confirm! Here: (326590.21), or here: (326590.5))
B) is time correct? (check your own team specific Official Local Time for HGL matches, link next one below).
Remember: if you are team sending challenge, you need to use designated time given to your team as a match time, found in this table: (326590.2)
If you are team that accepts challenge, match should take place at time that your team should play it's matches, your local time)
C) is court balance neutral (for regular season match)? If not, do not accept the match invitation. Matches played with wrong court balance do not count!
In such case, contact manager who has sent wrong challenge, and/or write a reminder on an official HGL thread, here: (326590.1), and/or send me a BBMail.

3. Send Pickup match invites to all teams, in which matchups your team name is bolded.
Schedule, here: (326590.21) or here:(324689.513).
To access each teams page easily, check T-Lit's post: (326590.21)
Again, please be very careful with all the specifics (day, time, neutral court balance) when you send invitations.

4. Accept all correct invites sent to you.
Check out:
A) should I be receiving this match invitation from this team? (HGL schedule provides answer). If not, don't accept it and contact manager by BBMail, send post to official HGL thread or BBMail to me.
B) If challenge comes from team that is supposed to send you a challenge, are all match specifics (day, time, neutral court balance) correct?

5. Check (and double check!) your BB schedule after whole process is completed.
Note:
A) not all managers accept invites quickly
B) you should have 15 regular season matches arranged for HGL Season 1
C) if you play also other Pickup matches than those for HGL, make sure you won't count them as being one of the 15
D) confirm that match dates and times show up correctly in your team schedule.
There has been problems with arranging PU matches, especially if they overlap some other match.
So we ask you to not play other than HGL Pickup matches so that they start just before HGL match, or so that they overlap it.

6. If all B), C) and D) from previous ('5.') are correct, let us know that all your matches are properly organized. I'll keep an updateable list of confirmed teams. Contact us on forums or send me BBMail, if problems arise.

Hello All, here is the NEW schedule along with the linked team pages for easy PU Match invites. BEST OF LUCK YALL!! :-)

Home-Grown League (HGL) Schedule:
Season 1
[....]

Thank you T-Lit for sending a schedule created by MrJ here as well, and adding functionality in form of team links.

Like I mentioned in forum earlier today what I will do, I copy-pasted this schedule sent by you to the 'official league schedule'-post (post 1 of 2) here: (326590.5) , and following your good practice/idea added team links to the 'official participating teams'-post, which is found here: (326590.2). I take it that you didn't edit it anyway when copying it from MrJ's forum post, or then we might have a catastrophe in our hands at the end of the season now that I copied it to the official post... ;D

So now managers can use either of us posts when arranging regular season matches, but please do not start arranging those yet, as we first want to decide whether we'll apply a principles of:
A) regards to sending Pickup game challenges, adding a principle of 8 challenger teams (who use 15 tokens) and 8 accepting managers (who use 0 tokens for regular season match challenges)
B) fixed times for matches: either fixed time for all matches, or fixed times based on teams who play against each other

(There are for instance some matches where both teams are from Americas, in which case certain time could be used, matches between European teams could start at certain time, etc., but still it would more simple to stick with certain locked time as then matchups would needed to go through and evaluated "by hand", 1 by 1, and done for each and every season separately).

I think we can all agree that this is coming together because of a team effort rather than individuals doing everything. We are certainly beginning to form our HG community. Look how quickly managers responded, putting up their hands to offer up their PU tokens and arrange games. We got 8 teams very quickly.

The future looks bright for the HGL.

I'm very, very glad to see people coming together with willingness to help, responding messages more actively, and see people sharing some of the excitement that for instance I have for HGL. It makes the work worthwhile. I feel as though launching of HGL has already gotten many of us so much more active on the forums and looking forward to what future of HGL brings to each team individually, but especially to us as a community.

And one of the goals of this whole league, has been (and of course still is) to make HG community even more active/communicative, and make managers feel more committed to their HG projects and to the whole community.
Like you mentioned, that's when great things start to happen, and this example of 8 (that you mentioned) was a good example of it.

I totally agree that future looks bright for HGL! I don't want to go too much ahead of things, but let's just put it this way; I really hope to see as many as possible of you other 15 initial participants to participate for the Season 5 (and beyond) of HGL. All time winning stats and medal tables (and possibly some other stats of that sort) will be calculated throughout the seasons, so two things; make every game count, and please have a lot of fun doing so!

Once again warmly welcome to all participants on my behalf! :)
