Sorry but I will not be ready in time. I'm in my first season and need a few more seasons to become stronger. I don't want to finish last 😉


You don't need to worry about that, Dutch Farmer...that's my spot for at least another season

Home Grown; for teams who like a challenge!

Yes, some good northern rivalries upcoming. I'm not aware of any other HG teams from Estonia, neither have I encountered one in the leagues of the cup. But maybe there's another one out there...
Yes really looking forward to becoming HG and perhaps having a few good draftees at the end of the season.

Season 2 for me ! what else B)

Thank you WiMaOl, Gccsteel, LennuK. and Spela for confirming your intentions/wishes, based on that I just updated the post concerning Season 2 HGL team lineup, which can be found going back few pages worth of posts, or directly from here: (326589.154).
I guess I have to update league table tomorrow instead of today (well, technically today) as it's better to do it when not tired. Speaking of which, I do everything I can to take care all numbers are as they're supposed to be in league tables, but if you ever notice/spot any problem/fault with it, please don't hesitate to contact me by BBMail or here on this thread (or on Scores Thread)!

Thank you for sharing your decisions, BigChill and Chucarro!

Right now situation looks like this for Season 2:
10 current teams in, 2 current teams out, 4 out of us 16 haven't voiced their opinion yet, and at least 2 new interested
managers ready to join for Season 2!

For all teams not continuing in HGL on Season 2:
I hope you will all stick with 100% homegrown policy of not purchasing HGL ineligible players for the whole duration of this Buzzerbeater season, even if you wouldn't be playing in HGL Playoffs or would have lost in playoffs and it would've ended your HGL season games.
While it wouldn't technically in practice affect your scores (getting ejected/disqualified from HGL by violating non-HG players-rule affects only current and future scores) or affect your next season in HGL (as all you're going to step out of HGL at very least for the duration of whole next season), I'd certainly prefer to keep 'HGL disqualification records'-section empty.

Fresh league tables (after Round 9 of play) available again on familiar places, in the first page of both Official HGL Threads!

If someone is still unsure/don't remember how official league positions are determined for teams with equal number of wins, I remind that the winner of their Regular Season match will be ahead in the league table for the rest of the Regular Season if teams end up with same number of wins after Round 15. So scoring difference makes no difference in this comparison, as there can be only one winner in the match between these two teams (because there's only one regular season meeting against each opponent).

As an example, we had a match LMS-BUC on Round 9, and as LMS won, both teams have now record of 2 wins and 9 losses. So if LSM and BUC end up with similar Regular Season record, LMS will always be ranked higher than BUC on Official Regular Season Rankings ('ORSR'), no matter what is these teams' scoring difference at the end of the season.

And as a further example, as BUC and TRO are now tied in wins, if these teams keep on winning at least almost as many games on Rounds 10-13, a Round 14 match between TRO and BUC will be likely very important in determining their relative position in the league table. (These examples of course assume, that no forfeit losses will be given to each of these teams, but I'd be very surprised if that would happen).

I realize most if not all of you already know and remember this classification system, but I just wanted to remind that kind of system exists instead of the "typical" one which relies solely on wins, and after that uses scoring difference as a method of secondary comparison when organizing teams to correct order on a league table.
