Speaking of buzzer-manager.com and Pickup games, as you MrJ were mentioning about both in a same post a while ago (mentioning it doesn't recognize HGL as an official league)...
It doesn't seem like B-M would recognize PU games at all, as they are not visible in schedule.
It would be really cool to be able to search only PU games stats through B-M.
I actually tried to contact (supposedly the owner/staff of) buzzer-manager about completely another issue/suggestion a while ago through BB, but have received no reply.

So questions are these: are you guys aware if buzzer-manager.com is still being developed to some extent, and/or if someone has been able to contact owner/staff of B-M?

I wouldn't think they would expire. The only expirations seem to be games organised that aren't accepted.

Ok, well, we shall trust that then, and I will today publish that announcement on official HGL threads. :)


Yeah, I think so. Unless you want to wait a little longer to see if anyone else thinks differently?

That's a good point, and actually a good idea to wait a bit longer to see if someone else spots any problems.

I have just come to trust the quality of your work so much, that it sometimes could even cause me to draw quick conclusions based only on your opinion. (Maybe being slightly pressed on time affects this, but still it's a good reminder). Having said that, I'm not suggesting you should lower your standards/work quality with regards to HGL, I like how things are right now... :)

I'm pretty sure BM has no work being done to it nor has it in years. I have used it for so many years and it has never changed or been updated. Which is fine as it is an excellent tool as is.

It is very valuable tool indeed... And it is free, which I think must always be kept in mind (when "expectations" towards it are being created).
It just has some issues, such as my all time team stats not showing reliably, season missing from the season history, etc., which I wish could be addressed... and if I'm affected, it's like 100% sure I'm not the only one. Of course, we need to remember these are just small personal nitpicks, but as I'm a stat freak of some sort, I prefer to have them right, or not to have them at all. Having said that, I'm probably now going to screw up some HGL stat sheet next season if I end up making one ;D

You flatter me. :) You have done an extraordinary amount of work to get this HGL up and ready, mate. I'm not organising my PU games just yet...but will do next week.

Well, you have clearly been the most active and helpful manager from the whole HG community to help get HGL up and running, so you definitely deserve thanks/praise for all your contributions! :)

It has admittedly been a lot of work (which in part only starts when the league starts, hopefully it will all turn out to be manageable in terms of required work/presence), more than I actually expected. And of course, it's still partly work in progress. But laying the strong foundation here is what I aim to do, so it will take off some of the workload from Season 2 and onwards. While it's been a lot of work, I think (and hope) it will be worth it!

It will definitely be worth it.

Thanks - positive attitude to begin with is a good starting point, so yes, I also think so.

Speaking of a starting point, to me it (it being publishing my post on official forums) seems to get closer, as nobody has commented on my previous post on HGL regular season scheduling/match organizing instructions (mentioning that it would contain errors).

You may just have to 'push the button' then. :)

Indeed. :) I think as supposedly PU match challenges aren't expiring in this case, and as we have more time this time around than normally (although we can adjust the window for organizing regular season matches to start and finish earlier from Season 2 onward, if all regular season matches can still be organized within one time window), there's not necessarily a need to send BBMail to all participating managers about the start of the scheduling process.
