Baseline Jefferson

Numbers, notes and bad lineup opinions from around JHSAA tennis

After decades of debate, JHSAA changes the way Jefferson plays tennis

Association approves 3-singles, 4-doubles format for regular season; distinctive 1-and-4 State format will remain

Play To Clinch: August 14th Update Playthrough

Even though I build a college tennis sim, what I really ever wanted was a high school tennis sim but college tennis is what happened because all of the basketball PC sims made it an easier mental model to develop. The biggest college adaptation is the format. College rosters are among the smallest of any sport and I thought without the real world contraints, why not expand it? So now it's different.

Play To Clinch Tennis Ep. 3 Playthrough

I made a few improvements to the tennis sim that are all just clerical or UI improvements.

Okay so it's fall portal time and I need to decide who I want to bolster in the D1 ranks. It would be easier to bring a bunch of 50+ STR players, take over a doormat D1 program and start running up wins and make NCAA tournaments, but I think that'd just be a race towards figuring out the deal to crack into the upper echelons of things, which will be a fun challenge when I get there. What I'd like to do first, at least for a season or two, is become a dominant conference power first. The trick to...

Play to Clinch Tennis Developer Playthrough #1

This was a fun runthrough because I actually had to do it and each time I got a week into it, I realized there were things that I needed to fix. Building the tennis game when I had the core pieces already extent and felt okay about the actual game model was interesting. For starters, it's a little too random right now. I think you can judge a game based on outcomes that feel unrealistic, but you need to simulate and observe dozens of games before making sense of really what's going on. I've long...
