Quick Summary:
:skull_and_crossbones:
:oh_noes: :oh_noes:
:oh_noes: :oh_noes:

That’s right - we’ve got our first :skull_and_crossbones: of the Sweet Sixteen, which means we’ve also got our first entrant into the Elite Eight!!

Congratulations go out to…

Ezekial_Cumberland!! … and that also means the Klaymen region is now officially up for grabs!! :astonished: :astonished:

A third attempt at a :broom: failed, which means we’ve only got one more chance to see it happen this round. Otherwise we’re starting to see a lot of effective rally caps being worn, especially in the OutdoormanNowActuary region, where what once was a pair of 3-0 matches has suddenly become a pair of 3-2 matches. As they always say, it’s that last game is the hardest to win!

How much longer can those :oh_noes:s keep hanging on? Stay tuned to find out… and keep sending those throws! :+1:

Plenty of time to claim a first round (of your competition) loser badge. You can do it!

I forgot to acknowledge that yesterday was Countdown Day (since the date was 3/21…).

But I just found out that today’s another specialized holiday:

Apparently 3/22 is “Steve is gonna get Rocked” day! :yikes:

… which also means Vorian_Atreides and JFG advance to the Elite Eight!

And now every active match is only one throw away from being over, including our first :popcorn: match of the Elite Eight (but not likely the last, the way things are trending lately!).

So stay tuned - it looks like this week will be ending on a very exciting note!! Enjoy the :popcorn:, and keep sending in those throws! :+1:

:oh_noes: :oh_noes: :oh_noes:

That’s right - we’ve lost our :popcorn: symbol :astonished: . So how did that match go between the Regional Titleholder OutdoormanNowActuary and the RPS rookie OldTimer?

We’re now going to have (at least) two new Regions next year - OldTimer advances to the Elite Eight!!

We also lost one other in one of the non-:popcorn: matches. So who’d we lose?

If you’ve been leery of these updates for a while, then yes… you probably have a reason to be leery again. :frowning:

… and we congratulate Whiskey for making it to the Elite Eight as well!

As for the other three matches, the front-runner in each match-up has already submitted throws - can their respective opponents avoid their respective fateful throws? Stay tuned to find out!

(And keep sending in those throws! :+1:)
