I think I found a picture of @Kid_Rock:
Quick Summary:
All three regional titleholders got reminded just how hard it is to close out a match!
SteveGrondin went from toying with a 
to being one game away from a match.
VA forgot that if Kid_Rock has come back from 3-1 each time, then Kid_Rock has also come back from 3-2 each time! 
As for soyleche, we all saw this coming (or at least some of us did… ):
But this just sets up for a potentially exciting late afternoon update, and who could ask for more than that, right? Right! 
Stay tuned, and keep those throws coming!

Now I have Kid_Rock right where I want him.

VA did a big set up that took 2 games when he went to second throw 3 times with scissors in previous match and went scissors with second throw on 2 games that went to second throw against me before going all R. Also, had not thrown S first in 11 straight games trying to dissuade my throw of R first which was a loser or a tie.
Now, I can see that he will clearly not throw S again first, so I definitely can not throw R. But, he would know that I see this and that means that he would certainly throw S, so I must avoid P. He has also shown a pattern to throw R and P the same amount and he is out of balance by 1, meaning he will throw R, meaning I clearly cannot throw S.

It does put me in the position of being Vizzini. At this point, I’m ok with that given I would be going home with an overall final 8 position with a winning record.
Ready to rock, picks have been papered and ready to cut through to the next round.
but paper picks don’t beat Kid_Rock
You wanna bout it?? Let’s bout it!
Quick Summary:
We only have one game updated, but it’s the one we’ve all been waiting for - the Game 7 with a seat to the Final Four on the line!! That’s not just a game - that’s a 
game!!
Perhaps… or does Kid_Rock have you where he wants you?
Consulting Magic 
…
Oh well, it was worth a shot! 
Guess we’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way.
Anyways, both sets of throws are in, so let’s see what happened!
As someone once said…
… but Kid_Rock’s pick of Paper beats Rock! Kid_Rock is in the Final Four!! 
… and now we know one the Regional names for next years game!!
But alas, we will not be able to get a group picture of the Elite Eight - hopefully we’ll get that last match going for the Final Four soon (just gotta wait for our defending champ to quit playing around… unless our champ is actually struggling? 
).
Stay tuned, and keep those throws coming!

In all seriousness, you had me baffled. You had done a couple great set-ups. I was fairly certain you would throw P first. I wasn’t going I out w S, so was hoping to tie and get to second throw. I just couldn’t resist the bull references.
Quick summary:
Apparently our defending champion decided to quit playing around, and with a final throw of R defeated IPD and moved on to the Elite Eight!
As for our other two matches, with a ticket to the Final Four on the line, we’ve got two nail-biters, as both matches are now knotted up at 2-2. Now it’s a Best-of-3 for the glory of a named Region!
Stay tuned - it’s about to get reallly interesting here soon!

GG @IPD , it knocked some of the cobwebs off. Now I have to ask ChatGPT what Bard would do in a million hypothetical games as Klaymen. Will have throws when the grid cools down.
