You can add me as a volunteer too ... but you just need to know that I won't be very available from June 28 to July 14, I think it is possible that the Pick up game's organization takes place during this period
Thank you WiMaOl and demars, I added you guys to the list!
Now we have 3 new volunteers, which I think should be enough of new volunteers if all other volunteers from last time agree to be volunteers again? I edited my previous post by adding your names there, but also made a list of managers of whose approval on voluntary question I'm waiting.
The thing is, I'd really prefer to use Season 1 schedule again as there's no really point in changing it (everyone will play everyone once anyway), and quite likely will use it again.
But I'd like to ask any manager that's participating to Season 2 of HGL who is low on tokens to please speak out now, so that I could possibly try to take that into account when editing a schedule for Season 2. I can't give exact promises on token usage, as number 1 thing is to get it done correctly, but if I know someone is very low on them, I'll see what I can do (hopefully that's not the case though).
Personally, I'm not low on tokens and could even "gift" them to someone if need would arise, but that's of course not possible.
As for PU match arranging time for Season 2, just as you said WiMaOl, we might be in a process of organizing during that time you're not around that much.
Unless I'm mistaken (?), a new BB regular league will start on July 12th (draft order must be sent by 6th of July, so BB season starts always on next week's Saturday, right?), so HGL Season 2 would in that case be scheduled to start on Monday July 14th (please anyone correct if I'm mistaken).
So what I could do here is to create a season box score post template with match days written in it quite soon, so that you could easily copy-paste it to your Season 2 box score posts already before your possible holidays (and would only need to send and accept match links and add match links to your basically ready box score posts when they're available - there's still some work with that, but it's still best to have the ground work done to make it as smooth as possible).
Of course those new box score posts would be then created by every manager to Season 2 Official Scores Thread, but if one is in a real hurry (or if I haven't yet established Season 2 Thread at that moment), one can use Season 1 thread as well as long as they'll eventually delete duplicates and copy-paste that post to Season 2 thread (when not in hurry/when thread is available).
(Speaking of deleting, one more time: please never delete your own box score posts, they might be needed later on - only exception is if you temporarily create a post and then first transfer it to a proper Season's Thread prior to deleting that duplicate.)
But prior to getting into that, I need to verify which teams are playing for Season 2, and while the list/roster of teams for Season 2 is almost completed, I'm still finalizing/verifying few things before publishing it as a final list (only after which I can proceed to editing Season 1 schedule for Season 2 use).
I thought this was supposed to be a lot more simple second time around, but we haven't even got to the fun part yet... ;)
But in fact it really should be easier this time, but on the other hand summer holidays might cause an added layer of challenge... Well, I believe we'll get through this. Let's try to do things the same way as much as possible as during Season 1 PU match organizing process, which is already quite familiar to all of us.
Of course there might be some different requests this time (if I notice something should be done in different way), but basically it boils down to me providing a schedule, you guys carefully arranging matches on correct days and times, and myself again verifying everything, and then we're ready for Season 2.
