Yes, it's possible to see the boxscore ;)

BTW, now i'm facing HAD -> Hadès

Somebody somewhere wants me to go to hell... ;)

LOL! I promise it was random!

I think my opponent, comparatively, will be harder. Mind you, every opponent will be out to use me to increase their points difference.

Luckily, points difference matters very little (if at all, other than for possibly statistical interest/purpose?) in this league, as in situations where teams have equal number of wins, the team that has won their regular season meeting is ranked higher for playoffs (and not the team that has a better scoring difference).

Yes, I had forgotten.

@ Wagner...

Obviously the new draw means you will have to alter some info on the official thread. Eg. before you had 5th to 12th spot in finals...now might have to be 5th to 14th spot? I will let you make that call.

Sorry for the extra work but it is nice that we can include 2 more HG teams in our first Season.

@Wagner

I can already see you hard at work editing the official thread, Wagner. Awesome.

You have noted in the thread that you will update the Top 8 Salaries of teams competing at some point. I have been thinking that perhaps I can help you with this?

I would wait until the start of Season 68 after all players have been reset (Games Shape/Salaries etc). I could then do the calculations and provide you with those amounts. I would then ask all managers that if anything changes through the season (They sell or fire one of their top 8 players OR reacquire a former player) they let me know so I can forward the correct and updated salaries to you. Let me know if this is something you would like me to do?

A recent one my 1st and 2nd teams played. Can everyone access it?

It is accessible that way.

I have never linked a PU game before so not sure if only I can access it. If it works, then here is how to do it for those who do not know:

How to link your PU game.

It is a good, condensed reminder.
There is also another guide in 'HGL Scores Season 1 Official Thread', here: (326590.1).

@all managers: please read through the above post of mine in HGL Scores thread before sending any box scores to actual HGL Scores thread, in order to familiarize yourself with practices which we hope you to comply with, as it makes life easier for a league Commissioner. :)

Firstly...Wagner & Demars...regarding your posts in the official thread about dates, unfortunately, with this new schedule, that will need to be updated.

2 New Teams:
Big Chillers. Manager: Big Chill. (BIG)
Trouville BBC. Manager: Chucarro. (TRO)

Below I have used the dates you included Wagner as a starting point:
[.....]

Thank you very much for creating the new schedule, MrJ!
I will update the 'official posts' of teams included and the schedule of the league, and will copy your match list to the schedule page.

I'll look at how this affects to the playoff schedule, but as a first thought adding two teams and not just one just postpones start of playoffs by one week, and we don't likely have to do other changes (what I meant is that by adding just one round of play would've left too little time after last regular season match on Friday to organize the first round of playoffs for the following Sunday).

@all managers: I believe that this app used for random creation yields a proper schedule (or otherwise it probably wouldn't even exist anymore). However, as it's sometimes better to be safe than sorry, and as correct schedule is absolutely critical for the functioning of the league, would you all participating managers please check, and confirm here on this thread for instance, that you have:
A) 15 regular season matches in total
B) make note (write to a piece of paper etc. to make sure) of your opponents, so do you face 15 different opponents during regular season, or are you facing some opponent two times (and/or some of the 15 opponents are missing) during your regular season?

NOTE: Please note that this draw/schedule was created using an app and is 100% random.

That's easy to believe, because I've run out of luck again, that's so typical. ;)

If you'd be willing to do that to help, I would of course welcome that gladly. And also you nailed it, as to avoid extra work it is most optimal to do it after salary update. This years wages are of course interesting very interesting as well, especially in order to be able to compare how they've then changed for the next season, but it's just an extra layer of work that I don't think I can use my time into right now, as there are more urgent aspects to finalize which affects the league functionality etc.

Also you seemed to have read my mind, as in additional HGL rules (to be announced in one of the first posts of official thread when all/most is finished) I would've written a text asking managers to inform us for changes in their rosters, and especially if they have purchased players in their roster.

So if you feel like you have time and energy for this, completing all these kind of things helps everything getting finalized sooner and with better quality supposedly, as one has a bit more time to concentrate on a task at hand knowing they don't have a mountain of them to accomplish in a given time window.
(I will probably, however, also add some kind of request for managers to inform HGL about their purchases of own players; the ones they've completed before, and the ones they may end up doing during the current season).

Consider it my responsibility. :-)

I have deleted my schedule post in the Season 1 thread, I will repost the new schedule along with each teams link (for easy access to their team page) on that thread when I get to a desktop (at church now) will be this afternoon (5 or 6 hours)

Great job everyone!!!

Nice. Thanks, T-Lit.

Wagner, I have read through everything you have posted and, unless I just missed it, have you stated how a team knows whether they are the one to organise the PU game or not?

I apologise in advance if I just can't find it but you have noted it.
