Only issue I found:

You didn't bold the team who will issue the PU challenge. (326590.5)

Indeed, thanks for reminding me.
I did it in purpose, because for at least to me (as a non-supporter) BB text editor doesn't accept text formatting copy-pasted from other sources, and so it's a dreadful project to press bold and copy-paste everything accurately 120 times in that message. Maybe I'll do that at some point, but for now I used links to your schedule with bolded text.

This is one of the reasons why I asked from you if my previous thinking (with regards to getting every match of the season organized by utilizing my previously presented volunteering strategy, in where for instance non-volunteered teams would only challenge teams underneath of them in the group of 8 teams) would be free of logical errors, because if it will, and if you're not doing the scheduling for Season 2, I will utilize that strategy then.

Piggybacking on Mr. J schedule [....]

Hello T-Lit,
we will use the official thread to send these when the organizing process will start.
As I mentioned in my draft post on organizing process, and as MrJ noted, your post on official forum still remains outdated, so I can not recommend using it in organizing process. It would be recommendable to update it. (But I can't guarantee I will have time right now to edit my previous post on that part).
However, as long as managers follow my list of procedures, list by MrJ will also get us through this successfully.

MrJ:
Sounds good, Wagner. I'm not seeing any issues.


Wagner:
This is the message I'd like you to check out for possible issues: (324689.606)


So the final draft is now done (here: (324689.606). As in quote above MrJ answered to one of my older posts, which was entirely different (and not earlier version of this #606-)post I still haven't received any feedback. So I'm now waiting for feedback (any errors possibly?) before publishing it in official HGL threads.

Thanks, T-Lit, for creating another updated post (to replace the outdated one), I added also your links to the informative post above!

Looks comprehensive and accurate. Well done and thank you, Wagner. You have put considerable effort into setting up the HGL. Clearly we appointed the right manager as Commissioner.

In other news...

...my 7-player HG team had a nice upset win last Tuesday in our RL Game 1. Now, on my home court today, we are hoping to sweep them 2-0. It doesn't really matter whether we win or lose as there is no real relegation from Div III in Australia. However, it is nice to see my HG team starting their journey with an upset and possible sweep with only 7 players. I had to play my SF trainee, Taipan, at PG and have him defend their $70k SF, and he was up to the task. Hopefully he can do it again tonight.

I can't wait until next season!

EPIC Game 2 SF Battle as the Swan River Serpents Sweep Mighty Woefuls 2-0 (133714148)

An incredible 4th Quarter saw both SFs drop 19 points each just in the 4th in an absolute battle of wills. His $70k SF, with 41 seconds left in the game, reeled off 4 straight 3 pointers, finishing with 43 points.
And my $15k SF trainee (who I played at PG), hit 3s, sunk mid-range jumpers and clutch Free Throws in that 4th Quarter, finishing with 46 points!

Now, that was one of the coolest Relegation Games I've played in 50+ seasons!

Can't wait to get some big training into the Taipan before he caps...and see what he can become!

Thank you MrJ!
It is ready to be published then - yes, on the other, 2 official threads (which marks the time this organizing process actually starts).

Like I mentioned, this info post will be positioned as one of the top posts on both of these threads, at "Announcements" (which are 2nd on actual HGL thread, and 3rd post on HGL Scores-thread).

But first, question who anyone (who knows the answer) are very welcome to answer: is there some kind of time window, after which Pickup match challenges expire?
If there is, it might be necessary for me to send BBMail to each of us participants, to ensure all will notice the start of this match organizing window in time. If not, there is theoretically still plenty of time for managers to react by seeing posts on official threads, and here on this forum.

I wouldn't think they would expire. The only expirations seem to be games organised that aren't accepted.

Ok, well, we shall trust that then, and I will today publish that announcement on official HGL threads. :)

Yeah, I think so. Unless you want to wait a little longer to see if anyone else thinks differently?
