BuzzerBeater Forums

The last round of the regular season will be very difficult, but I will try to win

I applaud your optimism.

EDIT: Social Security Kings from USA (IKnowZip as their manager), who were originally intending to join starting from Season 3, are not HGL eligible currently and do not intend to become an eligible team at least not by the start of HGL Season 3, so I´ll remove his team from the listing of teams wishing to start next season.


I've now updated a post that lists current HGL teams, as well as those wishing to participate in the future.

I'll copy-paste it to this Season 2 thread as well so that it's way easier to find (and update when needed).

Please remember to inform me early enough (by the start of HGL Playoffs would be again a good deadline) if you are already playing in HGL and wish to continue on Season 3 as well.
Only Hadár and myself have confirmed participation to Season 3 so far, so if you are already confident you will want to keep on playing, please let me know rather sooner than later.

So next post will be about the updatable list of teams, who are playing and have been showing interest towards HGL.

Referring to my previous post on this thread, I'll start another post so that we can easily keep up/update the list of interested teams.

Possible new team additions/new candidates for Season 3 of HGL:
On this "Possible new team additions"-list I'll be from now on keeping a list of teams, who are interested in participating to Season 3 of HGL (which takes place during next Buzzerbeater season).

*Currently no new-to-HGL teams have announced of their interest/preference to start on Season 3*



Other possibly interested teams (likely/possibly joining HGL later but currently preferred starting season hasn't been announced by manager):

1. BC Homegrown (Dutch Farmer), original interest announced April 15th, 2025 ((324689.730))
2. San Antonio Gladiators (Enigma), June 25th
3. Social Security Kings (IKnowZip), announced July 30th, 2025




If you´re still not playing in HGL but wish to do so in the future, please let me know either by responding to this post or sending me a BBMail. When you do so, I'll add you to a list based on your preferred starting season.
However, this applies to current and potentially new teams (currently not playing in HGL).
In other words, if you are already playing in HGL, please inform me of your interest to continue playing on next Season of HGL by the start of current Seasons' HGL playoffs, thank you.

Basically, personally I'd like to guarantee a place for all current teams playing in HGL for the next season as well, should they wish to continue playing in it, and I added "day of announcement" above mainly in the case new teams join and if we would need to restrict the amount of accepted new teams (due to sensible league size restrictions) and if we would then use 'day of announcement' as a critical decisive factor in deciding which new teams would be allowed to join.

This, however, hasn't been locked in as a selection method for new teams, and when I think of it, if we have "too many" interested new teams wanting to join HGL (and simply couldn't accept them all), then I think some kind of play-in type short league/playoffs structure (that would take place during Season 2 HGL Playoffs) between these teams would be preferable in that case to determine participation rights for new teams for the Season 3.

I'm in for season 3. Thanks for organizing!

Do I need supporter for this?

Do I need supporter for this?

No.

I intend to play Season 3 too.

I'm also in for season 3!

In for season 3

Season 3, for sure, with Elan Demars

Thanks very much Jotadoce, WiMaOl, Pihija, Dutch Farmer and demars! Great to hear some of the original HGL teams giving their commitment!

EDIT: Dutch Farmer changed their preferred HGL starting season (from Season 3 to undefined).

So with this recent information, I´ll add a + sign after each current HGL team on my follow-up list, who have already confirmed Season 3 participation.

Whether or not amount of teams will change for Season 3 is of course too early to say with still only part of current HGL teams having confirmed their willingness to participate to Season 3, so I'll still wait for rest of the managers to announce their interest.
