Elan Demars gave the link to the league game. So only the Raidersi and your team have the correct links.

Suuret Muinaiset have now correct link. Elan Demars have still link to the league game.

I don't understand.
I created a game yesterday for Sunday 14h30, and Trouville said yes for the game.
Where is the problem ?

Playoffs Round 1 : Elan Demars - Trouville BBC : (133949865)

This is the link to your tomorrow's league match with PATRIKOS.

Do you see the match against Trouville BBC in the schedule? If so, copy the number into the link again.

Oups, I put the wrong link !
I do the change right now !

edit : done ;)

It also happens to the best ;)

Elan Demars gave the link to the league game. So only the Raidersi and your team have the correct links.

Thank you for also checking these out (and replying to demars quickly). Demars likely noticed my note on Official Playoff post (7th post on Scores Thread) where I had compiled all match links.

So all match links all now available for me, which means we're technically good to go for First Round!

However, having said that there are completely missing links in current teams' own box score posts:
- Madrid Chotis
- Holy City Hoopers

So as I've mentioned earlier, while it's most essential that either manager provides a match link before the game (of course more than preferably both managers do this before match), every HGL manager is expected to add a match link and a score to their own box score posts, and this concerns also Playoffs and not just Regular Season.

So thank you already beforehand for taking care of this (eventually, in the case of teams who still haven't added links).

Good luck to all for First Round of HGL Playoffs - ´'may the force be with you' was already taken, so...
May the HGL be with you! ;)

No upsets on the First Round of Season 1 playoffs, all higher ranked (home) teams were able to take the W home (while it seemed as I had to work hardest of all home teams today to accomplish that, as Madrid Chotis was able to make our match exciting).

I have updated matchups for Second Round (quarter-final stage) of HGL Playoffs to the Official Playoff post, here: (326590.7).

Again, as usual:
- match times remain the same as usual, and
- it is important to select match on your home court, not on neutral court when sending challenge (when sending PU match challenge as a better ranked team; of course if you send challenge as an away team, you need to send PU match challenge on your away court to allow better ranked team a home court advantage)
- home teams (who is officially responsible for sending match challenge) names are bolded on the Playoff Second Round schedule.

Please proceed in organizing Second Round Playoff matches (that are played on June 8th, 2025) as soon as possible, so that we get match details confirmed (by me) and teams own box score posts edited before Second Round Playoff games.

Steaming hot batch of HGL Team Stats "out of the oven" again (here: (326590.9)), reflecting team performance after Round 15!

So as these stats are formed after full Regular Season has been played, this of course means, that now as everyone has played against everyone else, these stats are 100% comparable to each other and reflect team performance "correctly/fairly" when compared to each other.

To celebrate the beginning of first ever HGL Playoffs, there's also another additional stats category available, which also reflects the team performance levels at the end of Regular Season (after 15 Rounds):
Team Fouls and Opponent Fouls (which I only update to this post due to character limitations on above linked team stats post).

***This same post has already been sent to Official HGL Scores Thread, so if you have read this there and took action, you can skip this post completely. However, to ensure everyone sees this (as I don't know if some HGL managers follow only this and not the Scores Thread), I'll send this on this thread as well.***
__________________________________________________


In terms of everyone filling out their season box score posts:
As a reminder, in addition to continuing the same way of informing match links and match scores in written numbers in your box score posts, I'd appreciate it if you all would follow my suggestions on how to fill your box score post during Playoff time, including adding something to every round even if you are not playing or are not continuing in HGL on Season 2 (automatically qualified to Round 2, or being a team that did not qualify for playoffs at all).

I will quote my team box score post below, so that you see what I mean with filling out your box score posts:

HGL Season 1 Playoffs:
(For Playoffs: home team name bolded)

PO Round 1 (teams ranked 5th-12th): Sunday, June 1st, 2025 WAG vs. Madrid Chotis (135006289) 94-83

PO Round 2 (quarter-finals): Sunday, June 8th, 2025 WAG vs. Svätý Jur Snakers [match=XXX]

PO Round 3 (semifinals): Sunday, June 15th, 2025

PO Round 4 (final and a bronze matches): Sunday, June 22nd, 2025

Abbreviations used for Playoffs scores:
AQR2 = Automatically Qualified to Round 2 of Playoffs
(this abbreviation is used by Top 4 teams of Regular Season, during First Round of Playoffs when they did not play a match)

NQP = Not Qualified to Playoffs
(teams ranked from 13th to 16th positions on Regular Season, who did not qualify for Playoffs, use this abbreviation)

DNP = Did Not Play (on this Playoff Round)
(teams can use this abbreviation instead of entering their score of the round, if they have not played this Round match due to losing in the previous Playoff Round, and therefore being out of this season's Playoffs permanently)

It will be very hard, or practically in many cases impossible for me to "automatically" remember later on (say, after multiple seasons) why this and this teams box score is lacking on links/scores, for this and this Playoff Round, on this and this year. (Is it because team didn't play due to being automatically qualified for Round 2, or didn't qualify for playoffs at all, or due to not just wanting to write anything to their box score posts)?

This can make my life easier in many ways, and at least if and when certain all-time HGL stats are being published, these box score posts of yours may be important/come in very handy.
Not to mention, that they are again an important part of playing it safe - it's always best to have scores and links at least in two places, that are clearly defined (so that I know where I can find them if need arises).

As an another reminder, please don't ever delete your HGL box score posts (even if you wouldn't feel like you need them anymore), as those might come in handy or necessary for me/ for HGL later on.

Can someone remind me who I’m meant to play in round 2? I can’t find the draw after the first week of finals. Once I know I’ll send a request to them.
