March Madness 2024 (a.k.a the annual Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament)

Gives me hope only to find out he’s not talking about me. Le sigh

Crap, I forgot!

I will be happy to submit a set for you.

Well, we finally broke our streak and have our first 1-1 match in the Sweet Sixteen (and it was in the last possible match as well!). Meanwhile, our first match to go 3 games went 2-1, so maybe we’re about to see a bunch of comebacks (and based on the opening round, I wouldn’t be surprised one bit!).

It’s looking like we’re gonna learn a lot in the next couple of updates - will we be seeing :broom:s or :necktie:s ? Stay tuned to find out! (and keep sending in those throws!! :+1:)

Meh, just lulling you into complacency.

It’s time to start breaking out the quick update again… and it’s a busy one!! (And thanks for a complete update - great job outta y’all!! :+1:)

Quick Update:
:oh_noes: :oh_noes: :oh_noes:
:oh_noes: :oh_noes:

That’s right - 5 of the 8 matches are but a single throw away (and 4 of them could involve :broom:s!). The Echo and OutdoormanNowActuary regions are being very efficient this round, whereas in the Klaymen and Kid_Rock regions everyone has already won at least one game.

But what’s more interesting is that we’ve got 2 regional titleholders that are on the ropes!! :astonished: I guess the opening bye didn’t help them out as much as they would’ve liked. But don’t forget - they are Regional Titleholders for a reason, so I wouldn’t count them out just yet! :tfh:

Keep those throws coming, and stay tuned, y’all - the intentisy-o-meter is really starting to crank up!!

Looks like on my way out, both at the office and here too!

Quick Summary:

:oh_noes: :oh_noes: :oh_noes:
:oh_noes: :oh_noes:

Wow, the :broom: sellers can’t catch a break this tournament!! We had two potential sweeps in the OutdoormanNowActuary region pushed to the side (and thus keeping two players’ hopes alive). However there’s still a chance in the Echo region, where both front-runners have already submitted their throws… can their opponents hang on as well?

Elsehwhere we had an exciting 5-throw match in the Klaymen region, where 1695814 and Whiskey played a game of chicken to see who would flinch first… and then the question of where the flincher flinched the right way. :popcorn:

We’re setting up for what looks to be the start of the elimination in the Sweet Sixteen, which means we’re about to have our first entrants into the Elite Eight! So stay tuned to see who advances, and, as always, keep sending in those throws! :+1:

While Echo is busy throwing, I thought I’d toss @SteveGrondin a bone.
