Excuse me…there’s a certain scene in The Princess Bride I need to go re-watch…

And there was one seat left…

:popcorn:

It’s all come down to this - there’s one spot left in the Final Four, and the EC/SteveGrondin match is tied up 3-3. There’s a lot riding on this Game 7… so let’s see what happened!

It was decided quickly - it only took one throw…

(See how I keep that theme going? Pretty smooth, eh? :slight_smile: )

Gg zeke! Seems like matches are shorter than past years’. Happy to be on the winning end of it, though.

Thank you very much kind sir. My nemesis has been defeated.

Ahh, let’s see, where’s that scouting report on old Hoffman…
Here is it. Dumb as a rock, flimsy as paper, dull as kindergarten scissors.
Let’s go!

That’s exactly the strategy that’s worked so far.

… wait, you’re on to me, aren’t you.

.. and just like that soyleche ties it back up - I think we see where this match is going!

Meanwhile, Ted_Hoffman is still pondering, pacing, and waiting to pounce… so beware! :tfh:

I’m torn who to root for. I like Steve and Ted took my region name from me, but if Ted takes it all, I can say that I was only defeated by the champion. Hmm…

Hmm, maybe I can help you to choose to root for. Loser.

I’d say that was a pretty good way to end the opening day of the Final Four!

A little jfg svatar action snd it’s even up.

I don’t know if we can have matches that are any closer than this!

Within two games everyone had already won a game, and now 3 games in everyone has been in the lead at least once! :astonished: You can’t get any more competitive than that!

Stay tuned - the tension will only keep building from here!!

Yeah, a little misdirection and Ted falls for it, again. Now over to signal chat with Pete to secure the plans.
