Be an interesting set up to have the final-four require a “win by 2” requirement (like tennis).
Looking back at Post 2, 19 of the 66 final four & finals matchups (28.78bar%) were won by 1 throw.
Quick update: The back-and-forthness continues everywhere; 2 of 3 matches waiting responses; JFG just sitting back and watching it all unfold from his Final Four seat.

I see that @NerdAlert is pulling all kinds of executive tricks on this game.

Small reminder of what you could be practicing for:

Quick Summary:
In our last update, we had 2 regional titleholders down 2-1. Both completed their matches, and now one is but a throw away from being eliminated!
But which one? Well, we’ll leave it in the details for you to find out, so as not to ruin the surprise of finding out if soyleche or SteveGrondin are in a bit of trouble (or mayhaps just approaching this round a little differently 
[in which case we say “Thank you!” for the ratings boost! ] ).
Stay tuned - things are heating up now, and JFG may not be alone in qualifying for the Final Four much longer!
… and as always, keep sending in those throws!

Sooo… what’s the quick update on the soyleche Region?
That’s right, soyleche is still alive!
… for now.
Meanwhile, we left the SteveGrondin region at 2-2… who’s gonna be now?
(we’re still waiting for someone’s throws…)
Meanwhile, in the Ted_Hoffman Region we’ve pulled to a 2-2 tie. We could be just two throws away from finally determining our last Elite Eight entrant!
Stay tuned, and keep sending in those throws!

Glad I missed this update yesterday! I really would like to lose soon…

Friday update!!
Let’s build-up the drama by reviewing the regions in order as we head to the end of the work week…
We start in the Ted_Hoffman region, where we last left our match-up at 2-2. Who is going to have the upper hand?
No one knows - neither player has submitted Game 5 throws yet.
(Personally, I think this is an agreed-upon ruse to wear out OldTimer - you know, the ol’ “if ya can just get 'em yawning, then they’ll be shaky when they finally have to wake up and play” move!)
(But I’d rather we just get those throws in now and keep things moving… :sigh: )
========================================
Meanwhile, in the SteveGrondin region, we also had the match at 2-2, with a seat at the Final Four on the line! !
So… who took the critical Game 5 there?
That’s right - we did complete game 5…
and SteveGrondin is one throw away from…
being eliminated!!
=================================
Finally, we end up at the soyleche region, where we last left out defending champ on the ropes. soyleche was down 3-1, and managed to fend off elimination in Game 5. What happened in Game 6?
Well, there’s no more
in play anymore - the only choices from here are:
(and we’re going to Game 7!!)
or
(and we’re NOT going to Game 7)
So what’s the update gonna be?
:dramatic pause:
NerdAlert has advanced to the Final Four!!! 
============================================
whew!! That’s a bit of excitement for a Friday… and it’s setting up for a fun week next week!
Stay tuned, and keep sending in those throws!

Good game, soy.
Not only has @NerdAlert been dragged to the Final Four against her will, she even gets a region named after her!!

Done. I probably could have submitted them earlier in the day, but I was trying to have a positive work ethic even if my remote computer was saying it wanted to have a negative one.
Sorry that I failed you, @NerdAlert
I know how much you wanted to lose.
I hope you don’t win the whole thing.

Welcome back to another week of RPS! Let’s see how things kicked off this week.
First of all, we got some throws in the Ted_Hoffman region!! 
(Granted, it’s only one set of throws… but we’re getting there! )
Meanwhile, there was a little more tension in the SteveGrondin region, where the aforementioned SteveGrondin was down 3-2 to NumericalNeuroticism. Did SteveGrondin survive the day?
The good news is StevnGrondin submitted throws!
The better news for the studio audience is NumericalNeuroticism also submitted throws!
That means it’s bad news for someone…
… and alas, another regional titleholder falls…
NumericalNeuroticism advances to the Final Four!!
