Top 8 salary changes during Season 1:

Top 8 salaries during Season 1 (note: following teams didn't participate to Season 1):
Freccia Azzurra $213572
Hårdboll $464468
Virtus Portici $474584
KK Stihija $668718
BC Eos {*}$190521

{*}=Top 8 HGL-eligible players' salary.


Please note that during HGL Season 2 Daylight Savings Time (DST a.k.a. Summer Time) is observed in Europe, so it affects match times.

So for Season 2 Official designated match time for Season 2 is designated time for each team, which equals to 15.30, a.k.a. 3.30PM Eastern European Time (EET) Daylight Savings Time (DST).

In other words, you will play all HGL matches on Season 2 at your designated local time, that you can see on the above list before your team name. You will also use this time as a match time when you're responsible of sending Pickup match challenge. Naturally, when you are accepting PU challenge from other team, you need to make sure it's played at the same correct time (your local time) before you accept it.
Please let me know if you observe faulty time information on the above list.

Again, you all are warmly welcome to HGL on my behalf!


Forfeits and enforced penalties for teams on Season 2 of HGL due to violations, if any:
Currently none.

Please note: Santa Eufemia Ducks has withdrawn before the start of HGL Season 2 (and is replaced by Freccia Azzurra), and Buckner Bandits dismissed before Season 2 (and replaced by Swan River Serpents). In older, now outdated versions of Season 2 schedules, if you for instance have printed versions etc.:
SED = Santa Eufemia Ducks and BUC = Buckner Bandits.

#=team name change during Season 1 of HGL; formerly team was known and joined HGL as Trouville BBC.

Note, that box score links of matches will be copied to official schedule posts (here (327517.5), here (327517.6), and for playoffs here (327517.7)) from each manager's own box score posts, and only those matches on official posts are accepted as official HGL results.
(Match must start at the correct time, match number must be the same as in official schedule's copied links - in other words, managers can't change correct match links on their season box score post without approval or request by league Commissioner).

Please note, in the order of significance:
A) If teams are tied in points, team with less forfeits will be higher ranked, and
B) Teams tied for regular season points are officially ranked based not on scoring differential, but rather based on the result of their current season regular season match (winner of that match will be a higher ranked team).
League table will/might not reflect this correctly before the last regular season match (Round 15) scores have been revealed, after which Official Regular Season Rankings (ORSR) for Season 1 of HGL are being released, and playoff matches for that season will be organized based on aforementioned ORSR.
"In the order of significance" (above) means, that comparison is made in this order, if teams are tied in points.

PS. As you can see, Buzzerbeater text editor is utterly useless for tables such as this, and disagrees to accept previous formatting that text/table has had (completely ignores word or excel formatting), or even refusing to add spaces that I add between the numbers. For instance I hit space about 25 times between the uppermost lines' ("BIG") last and second to last zero, and while in this BB text editor it shows there's a considerable amount of space, in the actual post it seems as though I would've hit the space one time.

Tips are appreciated if you guys are more experienced with these league table/formatting/BB text editor issues, as I hope we don't have to live with these kind of messy tables for too long.

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 2 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 forum, here: (327516.1)! Good luck for each team, and see you in our forum thread!

Season 2 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 2 of HGL needs to do now:

1. at least briefly check out your season schedule (posts 5 and 6 on Season 2 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. (Basically we should be good to go, as I re-used Season 1 Schedule by editing it as little as possible considering we have 4 joining teams, but anyone possibly spotting any problems please let me know).

2. create an own box score post for their team, just like during Season 1.
As an idea for your convenience (and to retain preferred standard for HGL) you can respond to this message (327517.14) and from that post of mine copy-paste everything below * * * * * * to your own box score post (and only change your team name/abbreviation and add match links to it as soon as matches for Season 2 have been organized).
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: (327516.13).

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.

As you all have likely noticed (when being on this Thread), you'll find Official Season 2 HGL Threads from here:
Home-Grown League (HGL) Season 2 Official Thread: (327516.1)
HGL Scores Season 2 Official Thread: (327517.1)
