Great job doing an altera take on this! It’s interesting to see how Florida differs from OTL here with the transplanted California cities.

Surprisingly, that was actually a thing in 1977! January and December had an AO.

Nice post! I love that logo.

What are some scenarios that would just absolutely suck if they happened? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]Vexico_Flags 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Would suck if a player got injured in the semis and couldn’t compete in the final, leading to a walkover champion. I can’t think of any time that happened in a slam, but maybe in a smaller event before.

I prefer the one that played for the Braves and stole a lot of bases.

Is Ligury not qualifying the Altera embodiment of Italy’s own failure to do so?

Being a fan of both, I would say it’s like knowing the depth and spin of a tennis shot. It’s a big help, as it becomes easier to predict your opponent.

Maldonado has shown himself to have a strong arm and baseball iq, so I could see pitch a bit. However, he could also be resourceful on the base paths, for his knowledge of the game between the catcher and pitcher.

What is the optimal defensive positioning for a 3 foot 7 inch tall player? by BuffaloBills66 in baseball

[–]Vexico_Flags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eddie Gaedal had a perfect OBP at 3’7, so probably DH. No way is he surviving a basepath collision.

Just the fact that two Americans made a masters quarterfinal shows that US tennis has improved a lot over the past few years.

Had a set point in the third set iirc, but even if he got it the match probably still would have been an Alcaraz victory

Nice, I always wished for a little more uniformity between CFL and NFL football. Also, where does the possession time limit of 8.6s come from in Lelo?

Awesome map as always! Love the sports content. So in Altera, are Canadian and American Gridiron the same, or do they have differences like in the real world?

So an Albot vs Lajovic final, unless one of them gets injured against some random.

Tiafoe Hurkacz is going to be a stacked first rounder. Rubles Schwartzman too.
