Wagner, unfortunately, he currently has 0 HG Players...

...therefore, he wouldn't be able to join the HGL probably for another 3 or 4 seasons.

Sorry, my bad - I foolishly assumed he had read enough of essential information and had a HGL eligible team.

We would have caught it at some stage. Better now so he has time to work towards it if he is serious about it. I think it fair to assume he did not fully understand what Home-Grown (HG) is. Hopefully he will read some of the posts and decide whether he is still interested or not.

In other news, we are very close to the start of Season 1!

Yes, Season 1 is closing in, and I do want to remind all HG managers, that only 6 out of 16 have confirmed they have arranged all their matches for regular season: (326589.9)

Other thing that every manager participating in HGL needs to do after that process is finished and before Season 1 starts, is creating and editing your season box score post on HGL Scores Season 1 Official Thread.

Instructions found from these two posts (that I now also copied to another Official Thread as posts #9 and #10),
here: (326589.9)
and here: (326589.10).

If you want to see how your box score link post should at least approximately look like, then after reading through previously linked informative posts, please check out this post: (326590.44).

for me - done

@Paul George: Please check out your BBMail - urgent issue.

All the games I organized have been checked :)

Do you mean that you now see 15 HGL regular season matches in your team schedule page, at https://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/87312/schedule.aspx? :)

NO.
The ones I have created, yes
But i didn't received all the others games.

But NOW, ut's done, Cthulhu has contacted me (arg !)

I see, that's what I thought to be the situation...
Same with me, 14 out of 15 ready.
Maybe we're reaching the point, that if someone is still short of seeing full 15 matches in their team schedule, they can start sending BBMail as a reminder to managers, who have still not send them challenges. I might wait for 1-2 more days (to receive a lacking challenge), but we're getting closer to beginning so we should not wait until it's too late.
Of course, if it's not your first round game on April 7th that is still missing, it could be corrected later.
But it's an important and sound principle to stick with certain protocols, and arranging everything before regular season starts is one of them in my opinion.

Speaking of rules and principles, we all participating managers need to create a single box score links post before Season 1 starts - if you have been reading this and other HGL threads, you have seen 2 instructional posts (written by me) about it.

Countdown to the start of Season 1 of the HGL...


...5 days to go.

...5 days to go.

That's right, time flies so fast!
There are still some matches to be reorganized (for instance Deano25 has problems with his schedule on wrong match times on several cases (3 hours off) as mentioned before, and as an additional note his schedule isn't correct at least for Rounds 9 and 10 - wrong opponents on those rounds). Also, Heywood and Svätý have different PU matches linked for the same day on Round 11.
Having found these kind of things makes me err on the safe side, and I have thought it's not enough to check that only time is correct, but also that it is actually a correct match played on correct day. All this preliminary work is way more arduous project than I anticipated, but at least it will (supposedly/hopefully) be somewhat easier to do for coming seasons of HGL!

I'll try to get checking out these schedules done today, and provide additional instruction about the need for organizing some matches again, likely here on this thread.

But @Deano25: When you look at your BB schedule, what Pickup match start times do you see, so that I get an idea what would be the correct time for you when you will resend some PU challenges?
Against Svätý, your time is incorrect on your schedule on match (133878975).
In Svätý's schedule Round 11 match against you is at correct time, 15.30 EET DST: (133878673).
So first, you need to change that Hadar's match link to your schedule.
So how you see this later one of your challenges against Svätý (on R11) should probably give you likely the correct designated time for sending those challenges.
You can send one challenge as 'a cautious test' first (with that assumed correct time) on one of your earlier starting matches (12.30PM EET DST) that you need to reschedule anyway, and then when that gets accepted, send me a link here on this forum so I'll check and comment that time in it is okay, after which you can proceed to correct all your other matches that start 12.30PM EET DST instead of 03.30PM EET DST.
Also, like mentioned, it will be necessary to check your schedule as it is not correct for rounds 9 and 10 - wrong opponent.
