Additional rules and penalties for violations, 2 of 4 (effective as of April 5th, 2025):Voting:- Based on his discretion (for instance if it's a critically important decision that affects most/all teams significantly) is possible for league Commmissioner to arrange a voting.
About voting:
A) Voting would be announced on this league forum, on Announcements-thread, here:
(326589.2).
B) Voting is open for a restricted time (TBA; 14 days?) during which only participating managers of HGL could vote.
C) Depending also on whether a change we are voting about would be major one or not, it might be required that at least certain part of managers are voting for a certain option (for example: at least 3/4 majority, or 15/16, or 16/16 managers).
D) league Commissioner reserves the right to decide which issues are decided by voting
Roster changes and methods on how to inform on your own (and observed) roster changes:- You can
not become non-homegrown team (by buying HGL-ineligible players) any part of the season, including whole duration of playoffs, if you wish to participate HGL in the next season. Becoming non-HG team will cause an immediate Level 5 penalty. (Certain exceptions that would only take effect
after regular season has ended, and would only be meant for teams not reaching playoffs at all could be considered for further Seasons of HGL, but such rules won't be in effect at Season 1 of HGL).
- You are asked to inform league Commissioner before first regular season match of HGL, and during the season:
A) if you have purchased back any of your previously owned player(s) from other team(s).
If you have, please inform who/which players have you bought.
List of teams who have purchased back their previously owned player will be kept and updated by league Commissioner, with information on whether or not this team has received "salary benefit" by making such purchases. (This is legal in HGL to have purchased back own draftees, but listing of such players is being kept and updated nevertheless).
B) if you sell or fire a player.
This B) is not totally mandatory information for managers to disclose if you absolutely don't want to, but HGL strongly encourages/urges you to publish such information as it will make it possible for us to update top8-salaries listing, and also update such changes to official HGL threads so that all participating teams will be informed of any interesting changes that takes place within the HGL.
- Please remember: it is your responsibility to inform HGL (league Commissioner, or MrJ) of your roster changes, as league Commissioner can not (/will not in practice) check out all teams rosters prior to all matches.
Alternatively, this above mentioned roster information can be sent as a post to this official forum thread of HGL, or as a BBMail to MrJ (who has also agreed to keep a list of such transfers/dismissals), here:
(197075).
All teams rosters will be updated throughout the season by league Commissioner and will be shown here:
(326589.4).
- Violations (becoming non-homegrown) that are noticed later on will cause just as harsh penalty, starting from the moment violation is noticed.
Please note that any team, participating in HGL or not, are welcome to inform league Commissioner by BBMail or posting on this official HGL thread, if they notice that:
A) team has purchased illegal players (and therefore immediately becomes ineligible to play in HGL)
B) such illegal players have been dressed for HGL match (same effect as in A))
C) team has total of less than 5 players in their team roster (same effect as in A), unless corrected before 4th affected match of season)
Sending Pickup match links to forum:- It's responsibility of both teams to send box score links to official HGL Scores-thread in less than 3 days after A) last regular season match, and B) after any playoff/postseason match. Penalties: possibly TBA.
