Looks like the long break may’ve affected OldTimer… or it’s all part of a very very well-analyzed and thought-out plot here!

Thanks, AA. I was a little nervous down 2-1, but finally got in a groove. Hope to see you again next year, on the other side of the bracket!
… and OldTimer shows that the rust has been knocked off now - got the ol’ 2-throw combo in play to tie things up!
Stay tuned for the pivotal Game 3 - who will be the first to get halfway to the Final Four?

Surprise Friday update!! (If throws are submitted, updates will appear! 
)
It looks like OldTimer is fully back into the game after a not-so-brief rest… unless now it’s TedHoffman pulling some strategery!
Stay tuned - Game 4 could be rather telling!

We were wondering what kind of match we’d end up with here, and we knew Game 4 would go a long ways in telling us… and it turns out we appear to be on the verge of a good ol’ back-and-forth slugfest! It took two throws, but Ted_Hoffman countered OldTimer’s Game 3 victory in Game 4 to even up the series 2-2.
So now we’re down to a Best-Of-Three series for the last seat in the Final Four - y’all can’t ask for better action than that!! 
Good luck to you both, and May the 4th be with you!

Late late 5/5 update (I’ll let you decide on the reason why… 
)
Anyways, we are down to a Best-Of-Three match for the last spot in the Final Four. It’s been a tense match between Ted_Hoffman and OldTimer, with neither of them able to get more than a one game lead. We now have the pivotal Game 5 in hand…
Quick Summary:
(But y’all knew that, if you’ve been paying attention… and I know you have! )
So which player is living on the edge?
Well, as usual it took a couple of throws…
…but it’s no more false steps for OldTimer now! 
(But I still think you can’t rule out that was all part of the plan…
It’s getting tense, folks… and our next game could be the last one of the Elite Eight!
So stay tuned, and keep sending in those throws!

Is today the day??
Game 6 is now in the books! Will OldTimer rally to cause a Winner-Take-All Game 7, or will Ted_Hoffman finish the task, and become the only regional titleholder to successfully defend their region?
In other words, will we have
or
?
Either way, the
is no more.
Let’s see what happened:
R TedHoffman
R OldTimer
A tie!
(I guess we really shouldn’t’ve been surprised by that, given how many times these two fine competitors have gone multiple throws.)
Moving on to Throw #2:
R-R TedHoffman
R-S OldTimer
Ted_Hoffman has advanced to the Final Four!!

I’d better use a rock to loosen the rust from my scissors, then wipe them clean with paper.
Well done Ted. You wore me down with a three week layoff and then zigged when I expected you to zag and the fat lady has sung.
