One cannot get up early enough to sneak one by meep. This will be a struggle.

I see that @IPD fell for the trap!

Good news - I think nearly everyone has checked in and submitted throws that needs to, so we should really start seeing some movement now! :popcorn:

We’ve got two matches that are now at 2-0, but since all rounds are ‘Best of 7’ this year, there’s still plenty of time for a rally, so no need to panic if you’re behind… yet. :tfh:

Meanwhile, we’ve had our first FIVE throw game of the tournament, and in a game with a rookie, no less. :astonished: Just another friendly reminder for y’all: Don’t ever underestimate your opponent in RPS!!

Keep those throws coming!!! :+1:

Great work, everyone! We’re all checked in now, and the matches are starting to move.

Tomorrow looks to be exciting, as we’re now up to four matches that are only a throw away from being a throw away from advancing! :astonished:

A small favor for all the active players: there’s a pretty decent chance there will only be one update tomorrow, so if y’all could get throws in earlier in the day rather than later, I’d appreciate it. 'K? 'K! :+1:

Good luck, everyone!!

Our (lone) Friday update is an update of hope, of comebacks, of rallies…

We completed 4 games, and in each case the player that was down in the match won the game - in three cases it brought the match back to even, and in the fourth case it saved the player from receiving the first :oh_noes: of the tournament! :phew: (Also notable was that Paper won in 3 of the 4 cases - I guess Fridays are made for throwing Paper? :person_shrugging: )

As noted, this will be the only update for today. However, if enough throws are submitted, I’ll provide a Sunday evening update, so y’all can have some exciting RPS news to read first thing Monday morning! So are ya with me? Yeah, I knew you were!! :smile:

So keep sending in those throws (and have a great weekend!) :+1:
