What an amazing job! Congratulations!

Thank you very much GM-Enzo, I appreciate it! :)

Not much longer before the Season 1 liftoff, but this thread and the other official thread of the league, 'HGL Scores Season 1 Official Thread' will receive more content before that.
Stay tuned, and get prepared to have a good time with HGL as I think it's going to be a very interesting and a fun journey for us all!

As you may have noted, all participating teams of HGL will be required to send box score links for all of their regular season games to this HGL Scores Season 1 Official Thread before Season 1 starts.

First notes A)-F), and then instructions on how to complete the process.

Notes:
A)these score links will be added to one post per manager, that can then be edited throughout the season if needed.
Links will be added to one post/manager to avoid overcrowding of HGL Scores thread, and for being easily searchable.
B) links to box scores (from your post) might be copied to the official HGL scores thread's 'Schedule/scores'-post
C) instead/in addition I might link your box score posts on official HGL schedule/scores posting, so that each team has access to box scores of your games easily
D) in playoffs, we might use this same box score post (and same link) created by each team; TBA
E) please never delete box score post then created by you, we might need it a lot later in order to confirm things.
F) MrJ has already provided us one example on how to accomplish this, here: (324689.683). But please still read through instructions below before proceeding.

Instructions on how to proceed with writing one post about your HGL box score links:
Remember, that you can't finish this process completely before all HGL matches for regular season are organized properly and visible in your team schedule page.

1. Go to your official BB schedule page, which is found from https://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/XXXXXX/schedule.aspx
(where X is your team number)
2. Click "Tactics"-link (between team names) on your HGL match that you wish to link (If term isn't 'Tactics' in English, it is the link what you use to set up your lineup and tactics for the match).
3. Once you enter on tactics/line up setting page, match number of that Pickup (PU) match is revealed to you in the browser's address line. It looks like this: https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/XXXXXXXXX/tactics.aspx and number in place of this XXXXXXXXX is your match number.

Now at this point, you have two ways to proceed, described below as 4A (that MrJ used) and 4B.
Choose a preferable way for you and please stick with it for the whole season. Method 4A would be preferable.

In your box score-post on HGL Scores Season 1 Official Thread, you enter links for 15 matches.
For each game include Round number, a date game is played, and name of your opponent (like in MrJ's example, link above, even though he didn't include dates of matches).

So to your post, link the box score in either way:

4A):
By following above instructions you are on the match tactics page already, so copy/make note of the number of the PU match (visible at web browsers' address line). Then on this thread update it to your box score link post, and do so by using 'a basketball button' on the page into where you write text to be sent to forum; that is located above the text frame. Pressing a button will automatically create a string of text such as '[match=XXX.XX]', and as you replace XXX.XX with your match number, the box score link will be automatically created. It will create a functional link to a match box score, which will look like this: (132386153).

4B) by a direct web page link to box score, such as: https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/XXXXXXX/boxscore.aspx (in where XXXXXXX represents the match number). You can simply access this by visiting above mentioned match tactics page. By following above instructions you are on the match tactics page already, so Pickup match number is visible to you. If you choose to use this 4B-method, you can copy-paste https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/XXXXXXXXX/boxscore.aspx-link to your season box scores link 15 times (one for each match) on every line, and then for each line replace XXXXXXXXX with your Pickup match number.

5. Do this with all matches.

6. Ready.

5. Do this with all matches.

6. Ready.

One of the easiest methods, that creates a standard for the league and for box score reporting, would be to use this official schedule as a starting point, here: (326590.5).

For illustration (and usability) purposes I copy-pasted a schedule from that post (found from below).
You are free to copy-paste this league schedule information (below) to your new HGL Scores Season 1 Official Thread-post, which includes links to your all regular season matches.

After each line (on the table below) add:
A) Names of both teams playing in match, or
B) 'v.' or 'vs.', and name of opposition (for example Trouville BBC, or official abbreviation TRO, if you don't have energy to write the whole name).

In addition you of course need to add box score link to the match after team name(s).
Instructions for that provided here: (326590.42) (close to the end of post, at 'So to your post, link the box score in either way').

Regular Season 1 match days:

RS Round 1: Monday, April 7th, 2025
RS Round 2: Friday, April 11th, 2025
RS Round 3: Monday, April 14th, 2025
RS Round 4: Friday, April 18th, 2025
RS Round 5: Monday, April 21st, 2025
RS Round 6: Friday, April 25th, 2025
RS Round 7: Monday, April 28th, 2025
RS Round 8: Friday, May 2nd, 2025
RS Round 9: Monday, May 5th, 2025
RS Round 10: Friday, May 9th, 2025

Hello RamLT, it's great to hear from you!
Lineup of 16 teams for Season 1 of HGL is already locked up, as we are getting very close to a start. So unfortunately for the Season 1 this won't be possible, but as I wrote, I'm very glad you announced your interest to join HGL!

EDIT: I foolishly assumed, that your team was fully homegrown as you announced your interest to join HGL. I just noticed your team currently doesn't qualify as a home-grown team, as MrJ noted. Therefore, it will take at least 2-3 more draft sessions (if you keep practically all your drafted players from those seasons) to be able to form large enough team for HGL. You would be also required to sell all of your ineligible players (players not drafted by you) in order to be able to participate to HGL.

Hi there, RamLT. Thanks for your interest. However, you currently do not have a Hone-Grown team. There are a few threads and posts to read if you are wanting to turn your team into a HG team so you are ready for Season 2.

Thank you for message, we will include you on the list of interested teams!

Amount of teams participating to HGL for Season 2 still remains to be decided, but if we choose teams for Season 2 on 'first come first serve'-basis, you are quite high on our list. Team selection process and criteria for Seaon 2 are still undecided, and depending on many factors; participating teams could be also decided in a play-in game or play-in playoff tournament, or in short regular season series into which interested teams would participate in - in the case amount of open positions for HGL Season 2 would be restricted.


Wagner, unfortunately, he currently has 0 HG Players...

...therefore, he wouldn't be able to join the HGL probably for another 3 or 4 seasons.
