Comment: Would like this hook to run on the day of the final (December 11 at 12 Pacific / the late UTC slot) if possible. I may have to change the hooks if it has to run after that date.
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria (newness / expansion and length). Article is well sourced and I do not see any issues with language. Earwig's copvio test shows no issues with copyvio. ALT0 and ALT1 are both sourced and are interesting. The verbiage / usage is marginally different in the article, but, meets the essence of the message. e.g. seventh consecutive time that either SEA or POR are western conference champions vs the hook stating final to feature. But, to be clear, I do not see an issue. QPQ done. Approving both hooks. Request to promoter to pick this up for a special occasion run as requested by the nominator. PS: I will be cheering for POR (WP:CASCADIA). Ktin (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
