We needed 8 managers to do this for this method to be viable.

We have 8!

Furthermore, what we could do now is go to the post by T-Lit in the scores thread, and T-Lit could simply bold each of the 8 managers listed above. Then we could remind everyone that these managers will be organising the games and noone else needs to.
This is only a suggestion, Wagner.
I will reply to this better probably later today (or at least tomorrow), but as the conversation has been on fire recently and messages even from yesterday seem to bury under the new ones, I want to quote part of my post from yesterday, as only T-Lit has commented on it so far. You'll find it below, starting "An important note [...]".
But first, still as a reminder:
please do not yet start arranging Pickup matches for the Season 1.That part of the post sent yesterday by me was about
changing the rules in terms of fixed times for matches.Below is the part of the message with which I was addressing this issue, and also mentioned about in this message on HGL Scores-thread:
(326590.13)So please, all participating managers, let me know if fixed time for matches is ok for you, because I think (while not convenient for any one manager), would tackle many possible issues and therefore would be very welcome addition. Of course such decision can be made without a wide acceptance, but of course acceptance would be preferable.
Here's my post from yesterday:An important note and question is made throughout the rest of the post, @everyone:At the moment, all times between 00.01-23.59 are possible times for organizing matches, due to being able to organize some matches in relatively convenient times (if one would want to follow match life etc.). However, the person who sends the challenge has the control on when match takes place unless a specified time when match starts is being given by HGL.
Now on the other hand this is a bit problematic, as if one team would send all his challenges, he would have control over match times unless we can agree an exact time (for instance 4.30PM EET, Eastern European Time, etc.) when match takes place. 4.30 PM EET would be approximately 5.30-9.30AM in USA, 10.30AM in Uruguay, and 10.30PM-12.30AM in Australia.
In one sense, having a fixed time for each match would solve the issue somewhat equally. The problem is though, that we are positioned all over the world from Americas to Europe to Australia, so fixed time would be somewhat compromise to all.
On a positive note though, fixed time match would make it easier in two reasons: time is already known beforehand, so nobody would complain that 'the teams that send me challenges constantly choose awkward times'.
Also, having a fixed time for match would also create a routine/standard for the league, and very/most importantly, would make it impossible to make a rematch if some managers would be into it, for, let me just say, for "various reasons".
