Wow…I was eliminated before the tournament was fully under way. It’s time to start a nationwide search for an elite RPS coach.

Tuesday afternoon update!! :partying_face:

Quick Update: :oh_noes:

Things are moving in the MayanActuary Region… and the power of Rock reigns!

… and we could be just one throw away from our first Final Four entrant!!

Keep those throws coming! :+1:

It’s the midweek lunch update!! :partying_face:

Quick version: :popcorn: :oh_noes:

We could be just two throws away from having not 1, but TWO Final Four entrants determined… and we know in either case the next game between gandalf and Doctor_Who will crown a Final Fourer? Final Fourist? Final Four… finalist? (You’d think after all these years I’d have the terminology down. :blush: ). In any event, get that :popcorn: ready!!

Meanwhile, both matches involving the region namesakes are moving… a bit slower. :snail: (I guess it is a little intimidating going up against a finalist from last year! :tfh: ) But that being said, let’s keep things moving, and get those throws in!! :+1:

I lose to someone who gets confused and sends Ultimate the name of the game instead of throws, and then Ultimate counts them?

Wednesday evening update!!

Quick Version: :oh_noes: :skull_and_crossbones:

… but that :skull_and_crossbones: also means :party:, for we now have our first member of the 2021 RPS Final Four!!! :clap: :clap:

It was an interesting set of games this round, where it paid off to repeat your first throw… except for the one time that it didn’t. :tfh:

Keep those throws coming!

It appears that DW knows how to use a broom effectively.

Thanks. Enjoyed it. Good luck in the next round. Refraining for now on commenting on strategy.

Thursday lunchtime update (a little later than planned, so we could, uh… build up the suspense! Yeah, we’ll go with that! :blush: )

Quick Summary: :oh_noes: :oh_noes:

That’s, we are once again at the point where two throws could determine the next two entrants into the Final Four! Will MayanActuary maintain naming honors? Stay tuned to find out! :+1:

I think you forgot to update the bracket to reflect this particular lead.

:doh: Fixed now, thanks!

Might as well just fix it to 3-1 after these last throws I sent in. Soyleche doesn’t stand a chance against Spock.

And Lizard sneaks in for the win!
