ALT1: ... that MLS Cup 2020 was exempted from a statewide curfew by Ohio governor Mike DeWine? Source: Dispatch
Reviewed: Pencil tower
Comment: I'd like this to run at midnight on December 13 (UTC), which would overlap with the actual scheduled game. Writing isn't fully complete, but will be soon.

Overall: As a fellow Sounders' fan, here's my review. Nice nomination. I like the idea of trying to coordinate the time to the final. ~~Did I miss the QPQ? Share if not already. Also, any chance we can take another pass at interestingness on the hook?~~ Marking approved. Ktin (talk) 19:44, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Tagging @Yoninah: as a heads-up re: the nominator's request for lining this up on the homepage on December 13 midnight. Ktin (talk) 17:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Well, there's not much to do about it till it's approved. SounderBruce, do you mean midnight December 12 in Ohio? Yoninah (talk) 20:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
@Ktin: The QPQ is listed above (Pencil tower). @Yoninah: The match begins at 1:30 a.m. UTC on December 13, so that's the slot I'd prefer if possible. Sounder Bruce 05:45, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

@SounderBruce:. Thanks. Updated QPQ. Let me know if you want to take another pass at enhancing the interestingness via a different hook. Else, I will mark this hook as reviewed and ready for next steps. Ktin (talk) 05:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

I still prefer the original hook, as I think it would be interesting to those outside of sports (who know that repeat appearances in a final aren't particularly easy), but I did add an ALT1. Sounder Bruce 06:15, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Done. Marked the review as complete. Let's go with the original hook. I have verified / approved both of them fwiw. Ktin (talk) 06:21, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
