Possible new team additions/new candidates for Season 3 of HGL:
On this "Possible new team additions"-list I'll be from now on keeping a list of teams, who are interested in participating to Season 3 of HGL (which takes place during next Buzzerbeater season).

1. Social Security Kings (IKnowZip), announced July 30th, 2025



Other possibly interested teams (likely/possibly joining HGL later but currently preferred starting season hasn't been announced by manager):
1. BC Homegrown (Dutch Farmer), April 15th, 2025 (exact preferred starting season not yet confirmed by Dutch Farmer; as for future participation I'm referring to this post: (324689.730)
2. San Antonio Gladiators (Enigma), June 25th




If you´re still not playing in HGL but wish to do so in the future, please let me know either by responding to this post or sending me a BBMail. When you do so, I'll add you to a list based on your preferred starting season.
However, this applies to current and potentially new teams (currently not playing in HGL).
In other words, if you are already playing in HGL, please inform me of your interest to continue playing on next Season of HGL by the start of current Seasons' HGL playoffs, thank you.

Basically, personally I'd like to guarantee a place for all current teams playing in HGL for the next season as well, should they wish to continue playing in it, and I added "day of announcement" above mainly in the case new teams join and if we would need to restrict the amount of accepted new teams (due to sensible league size restrictions) and if we would then use 'day of announcement' as a critical decisive factor in deciding which new teams would be allowed to join.

This, however, hasn't been locked in as a selection method for new teams, and when I think of it, if we have "too many" interested new teams wanting to join HGL (and simply couldn't accept them all), then I think some kind of play-in type short league/playoffs structure (that would take place during Season 2 HGL Playoffs) between these teams would be preferable in that case to determine participation rights for new teams for the Season 3.

I wish to continue participating in the HGL next season

May the fourth be with me for a second consecutive year in HGL (will we start a poll to change the name of the league (until MY proposition wins, of course) ?)

I'm in for Season 2.

Why do you want to change the name? I think the current name HGL is fine. There is no need to change it.

It was just something we call in french "humour".

(the last sentence was also "humour")






( ;) )

I wish to continue participating in the HGL next season :)

Thank you Coach Faz, demars, Monēta and Hadár for your quick responses and positive decisions! :)
There's 5 of us already this soon, and during coming weeks I expect even more of us 16 (and maybe some new managers that might be willing to join already for Season 2 - manager Spela from Hårdboll perhaps, as he mentioned about his future interest on April 20th?) announcing their interest to participate for Season 2. :)

Hey Wagner and everybody else. I expressed a rough future interest for the HGL some months ago and I think next season my first team would be at the point, where I could be able to fully go HG. Therefore, should you have a spot open, I would love to put myself on the waiting list and potentially join the HG league for the coming season. Though, I guess we will see how many current participants will continue in the second HGL season and I would totally vouch for all of them to be preferred, while filling the league for the new season.

Right now I still have 3 non-HG players on my roster. But as my season is not going quite well in the Estonian second division, I am most probably looking at a relegation at the end of the season and then I would get rid of these three remaining players. Until then I would hold onto them, as I am already below the salary cap and so I can distribute the playing minutes and train my draftees more effectively. Just let me know if this would be feasible for you. My current top-8 salary without the non-HGs right now is at 190k and it's bound to be a little higher for the coming season

And again, many thanks to you (and the others) for creating this initiative and putting so much time and effort into coordinating it.

I'm in for Season 2 as well!

Bandits are in for season 2! :-)
