League tables updated again - sorry for delay this time.

I guess couple of HGL overtime records have been broken during last couple of Rounds, in at least few different stats categories (of which it would be nice to keep stats on, in addition to many other stats categories but I don't know if there will be enough time to do that).
I could be obviously mistaken, but has anyone else reached overtime in 2 consecutive HGL matches? If so, I bet they haven't lost both like I did... ;) I guess there has been 2 overtimes for one team if we count the whole Regular Season, as some teams have had many thrillers during one Season?
Like you guys know, OT's aren't being clearly presented in scores-posts, so for that reason it's not easy to tell (and I certainly can't remember that).

@all:
Please remember to keep on adding scores of your Seasons' matches to your own box score posts.

Currently 11 out of 16 teams are up to date or at least started filling (and so have currently partly filled) their own box score posts on Season 3...
Meaning that 5 teams still haven't filled any scores on Season 3 matches.

I'm sure you all remember easiest way to find a way to your own box score post is through league table-posts on both Official Threads, or then you can just add a bookmark to that post (once you first find it) to access it even more easier in the future.
Thanks. :)

Another league table update available, made available "a bit" quicker this time around!

Again, some interesting scores on Round 7... HB continued their dominance against Northern opponents, (first beating VIV, then SUM, and now beating my team on RS Round 7), VPO and HAD kept their winning records spotless, and KKS was able to make a surprisingly big gap (30 points) to their quality opposition on Round 7, VIV.

TRO did their all to beat EOS in an important fight for a place in Playoffs, but despite of good attempt they fell 16 points short. Endel Karu from EOS simply refused to lose, posting Round 7 high 46 points on the score board, with 19 out of 31 shooting and grabbing 8 boards (tied 3rd highest on the match).

LGM-ED provided us one of the "all-French" meetings of the season, which was one of the big ones in terms of importance. Should LGM have won, they would've gone to 4 Wins-3 Losses (now 3-4) and also restricted their competition ED to 4W3-L (ED now at 5-2)
One note from the box score: LGM shot 0 out of 18 (!) behind the 3 point arc, so theoretically having shot at least 5 out of 18 instead (which would still be only less than 28% success rate) would've earned them a win. (Of course it's not this simple, as they chose inside tactics and this of course gave them boost to their 2p FG% and hindered their success rate behind the arc, but I guess everyone got my point).

RS Round 7: Monday, November 10th, 2025 LGM 112-125 ED (136507431)

Very proud for this victory, over a team that :
- won against me twice before
- is french

This time, the defense was the good one (even if my opponent played Look Inside vs 3-2 Defense) so he only shot 0-18 (3 pts). His very best player (PF) shot 41 pts (+14rbds) but not with a huge % (16/31). My team was solid everywhere, but no incredible performance.
A very happy solid win :)

I copy/paste my last message about BBM tournament, but I add ONE victory for each of us ;)


Just a few words about BBM Tournament.
Les Gueux du Marais & WimaOlca & my team are all in the same tier, and we all began by 3 wins.

HGL rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !

Nice summary.

Thanks Hadár,
While these kind of posts ("reports/summaries") are just a scratch of what has happened on any given round - and lots of interesting and important things aren't being written on - I find it sometimes better to write even something even though I don't find enough time to delve deeply into every match. Besides, it's often nice to write... I just wish I'd be able to give it more time.

I definitely don't mind if anyone else wants to write previews or summaries of matches, or mid-season preview, or anything like that (or wants to utilize AI when doing so). Anyway, it's also interesting to read small match summaries that managers write from their matches... that shows it doesn't need to be a full length novel in order to be enjoyable.

I'm also absolutely certain that I'm not the only one who thinks your Round to Round stats make HGL even more interesting than it already would be.
And yes to your question (that you didn't ask though ;p), J.Arminen reaching all time record in HGL rebounds on Round 7 gave me bit of comfort after a disappointing overtime loss, and I'd never know about that record (or most of other records) without you. So I hope you keep up the good work Hadár!

So we´ve past the half point of the HGL Season 3, and I'd like to remind of everyone (who hasn't yet reached a decision), that I'd like to hear of your willingness to keep on playing on HGL Season 4 by the end of HGL Regular Season.

Like you guys know, I'll keep editing this post to see the development: (328546.32).

So far - unless I've missed some announcement - 10 teams have announced of their interest to continue on Season 4 (and some teams even beyond that by giving their "permanent announcement of willingness to continue").

So that means 6 teams still are undecided (or haven't just yet informed us, if they've reached decision), which are:
- LGM
- D
- SUM
- RAJ
- HB
- FRE

So if you know your decision already, please respond on either Official Thread or by sending me BB-Mail, thank you. :)

Thank you, I had a feeling I forgot some replies (and your reply was so long ago that I didn't find it on my previous check today).
