Wow! I gotta warn ya - this evening wraps up with drama at all sorts of levels!!
If you want a low-key drama, stay with the Kid_Rock region, where the only drama is wondering if we’ll get both sets of throws submitted. Answer: Nope - just one set. 
Ratcheting up the excitement a bit, in the Echo Region we were at 2-2 in the match between Echo and Vorian_Atreides, so our Best-of-Seven is really down to a Best-Of-Three, which means Game 5 is the pivotal game, giving the winner a huge advantage. So what happened?
Both players threw Rock on the first throw…
… but only one player threw Rock on the second throw… but was that a good or bad move? 
Echo threw Scissors, which means VA is only 1 throw away from defeating the defending champion and advancing to the Final Four!! 
We now turn our attention to the Klaymen region, where we had a 5 all-rock-throws tie between Whiskey and Ezekial_Cumberland. So it looks like now we start our game of “who’s gonna blink first?”
Throw 6:
R-R-R-R-R R EzeklCumber
R-R-R-R-R R Whiskey
Throw 7:
R-R-R-R-R R-R EzeklCumber
R-R-R-R-R R-R Whiskey
Oh, I see an eyelid twitch! Is someone about to blink?
Throw 8:
R-R-R-R-R R-R-R EzeklCumber
R-R-R-R-R R-R-R Whiskey
Throw 9
R-R-R-R-R R-R-R-R EzeklCumber
R-R-R-R-R R-R-R-S Whiskey
Whoa! Whiskey twitched, and alas twitched the wrong way - EC wins Game 2!
(That’s got a good chance of being the game of the tournament!! Well done, you two!! 
)
… I’ll let y’all catch your breath after that one, because the final matchup had the biggest stakes of all. In the OutdoormanNowActuary region we are in a 3-3 tie between JFG and OldTimer. JFG started out strong with a 3-0 lead, but the rookie OldTimer has slowly been chipping away and now has all the momentum. So what happened?
It was an efficient match, lasting all of one throw.
OldTimer threw Rock…
… and JFG threw Paper - JFG is our first entrant into the Final Four!
Whoa, I can finally catch my breath now. Whew!
Wow - that was quite the update - what a way to head into Friday! I doubt that we’ll have that much excitement spread out over all the matches again in a single update, but the intensity is definitely picking up!
Stay tuned to see who else will be in the Final Four, and keep sending those throws!
