Interestingly, my games scheduled against Suuret Muinaiset shows in my schedule for 12:00 yet my game timer says our game is in 2 and a half hours (which would make it 8:30pm and correct).

Weird.

It sure sounds weird... Have you heard from Deano25 by the way (or from any other Australian teams managers, that you possibly know), that is he affected as well by this?
We haven't heard yet from anyone else than demars (at least here on the official threads), so that we'd know if other HGL teams are affected by this strange phenomenon.
Now that you mentioned that change of times appear also on your regular BB league games, that changes the whole picture of it... I've never heard of such thing before, and have been playing for a long time..

Maybe Donald Trump bought your country this night, and you haven't got the mail :o


Seriously, I've just checked. All of my HGL games are at 14h30 GMT+1.

EXCEPT these lines :
05/05/2025 11:30:00 2246 Elan Demars Donnez vos ordres 2050 Heywood Big Dogs PU
05/05/2025 14:30:00 2246 Elan Demars Donnez vos ordres 2050 Heywood Big Dogs PU

Very strange !

Do you mean having two matches against Heywood in your schedule on different times (on May 5th) being the strange part? When I look at that match box score link, it shows that it'll begin at 15.30 EET (as it should, as Finland is one hour ahead of France).

It's because I've got TWO games against Heywood. If I had seen that before, I would have noticed !

Back to 8:30pm again. lol

That could be, because according to my own notes, Heywood originally sent you a challenge at wrong time 12.30PM EET DST (11.30 DST French time).
Then situation got corrected, and PU game challenge was sent and accepted at correct time.

As far as I know, you can't cancel accepted PU matches, so both matches remain in your calendar/schedule and will be played on May 5th.

Therefore it's especially important, that when you report HGL score on May 5th, that you pick the correct one of those two matches when sending box score link post/when adding score to your box score post.

Nice, this is starting to get ridiculous. :D Should we set over/under wager on how many more times this will happen? ;)

I'm assuming it has something to do with training updates...

...but I'm only guessing.

The scheduled time is the same, it is just because your browser does not know where you are or thinks (cache!) he is still logged in but is not.

If you have a look at the app, it does not occur there.

Could be the case, I have absolutely no idea. But I hope everything will play out as originally planned (and I believe it will).

So what kind of thoughts/objectives you have about/for tonights' HGL match against Suuret Muinaiset? Round 5 match against them provided me a tough loss, and personally so far most interesting match in HGL... What a thriller, and one of the most memorable and meaningful matches in my BB history! Practically a one point loss, as two free throws were being sunk by SUM at 48:00 on the clock.
It's always disappointing to lose on last seconds (yes, Mr. Waris, I'm looking at you! xD) while at the same time missing couple of free throws and field goal(s), but in this case it leaves a bittersweet aftertaste as I love these kind of thrillers. And I think I was able to give them a proper run for their money (despite having $101K lower top8-salaries), and shot the lights out from the downtown (54,2%), while simultaneously very unfortunately leaving decisive points on the charity stripe, 11 of 17; (64,7%). Jantunen, Kunttunen and Sorvoja shot combined 3 of 8 from the line, and they all are normally 85-91% shooters.
While normally not fouling too much is a virtue, in this case another bad tactical mistake of not fouling early enough (to force Suuret Muinaiset to charity stripe on time - it's not the optimal time to take 4th team foul of the quarter at 47:59 if you still want to force opponent to shoot free throws and fight for the win) didn't really help.

Anyway, good luck to everyone for today's HGL matches!

By the way, I really like this idea/implementation of yours MrJ (quoted below):

Thanks for your reply LA-flaterik123, now that you mentioned it that really makes sense.

So, league tables have been updated again! No especially close scores on Round 6, but only two teams remain without losses anymore, now that Santa Eufemia Ducks were able to win one of the strongest contenders in HGL, Heywood Big Dogs.

Looking forward to next round... I'm still slightly bitter of those three consecutive losses to Swan River Serpents last season, so I'm trying to make next Monday a payday for my team... ;)

Interesting (especially in terms of being possibly somewhat or in some cases very even) matchups for Round 7 include especially:

- SUM vs. RAJ (SUM 4 wins-2 losses, top8 $371K. RAJ 3-3, $305K).

- HEY vs. WMO (HEY 5-1, $520K. WMO 5-1, $328K)

- TRO vs. HCH (TRO 1-5, $216K. HCH 2-4, $148K)

- LGM vs. ED (LGM 3-3, $222K. ED 5-1, $280K)

- BIG vs. BUC (BIG 0-6, $59K. BUC 1-5, $98K).

So as you can see, randomness throws more even matches to some rounds than to some others, and Round 7 should be an especially interesting one (again, in terms of close scores, and in getting those all-important regular season wins against your closest rivalries)!
