Game 4 - Will we have a sweep? 
NerdAlert was up 3-0 on NumericalNeuroticism - Will this be the last time I get a chance to mangle NN’s name?
Put the broom away - NumericalNeuroticism lives for another game!
==========================================
Meanwhile, in the other game we’ve had an injury update:
… but Ted_Hoffman powered through with some throws. How did Game 4 go there?
(Still TBD, as JFG hasn’t turned in any throws yet. 
)
==========================================
The excitement is building - what will happen next?
Stay tuned, and keep sending in those throws! 
Final Four!

Game 4 - Part 2
JFG now has throws in… did JFG jump out to a 3-1 lead (to match NerdAlert), or have things suddenly tightened up?

The Pivotal Game 5!
Well, we’ve got two different pivots here, as NumericalNeuroticism is trying to hand on after falling behind 3-0. NN staved off elimination once… will it happen again?
It did!
S NerdAlert
R NmrclNeurot
NN, We’ll see you (and NerdAlert) in Game 6!
============================================
Meanwhile, the traditional “Pivotal Game 5” was in the other semifinal, where everything was knotted up 2-2. Who will take the big lead here?
No they won’t - they’re not in this match.
(Yeah, gotta throw in a “Who” reference for the old timers in the crowd. 
)
But back to the match! The winner of Game 5 is…
… our lone surviving regional titleholder, Ted_Hoffman!
R TedHoffman
S JFG
JFG - you’re now outta wiggle room, so watching your wigglin’ going forward.
============================================
And if you thought that update was exciting (and it was, trust me!), just wait until the next one (and keeping sending in those throws in the meantime! ).

Happy Monday!
Aaahhh, Monday! What could be a better way to start off the week than not one, but two Game 6’s?!? Why not add a little more excitement for those living on the short end of the 3-2 score, hoping to stay calm while is all around; meanwhile, let’s add a little more stress to those hoping to close things out (because if you can’t do it in Game 6, what make you think you can do it in Game 7? ).
Let’s start with our first match, where NerdAlert had jumped out to a fast 3-0 lead, only to have NumericalNeuroticism refuse to give in, bring us to 3-2.

NN will not go away… we’ve got ourselves a Game 7 for a seat in the Finals!!
=================================
Meanwhile, it’s been a back-and-forth affair between Ted_Hoffman and JFG, with Ted_Hoffman holding the current lead 3-2. Will the pattern continue in Game 6?
Uh-oh…
It looks like we double-forthed (or double-backed or something) :

Ted_Hoffman is back in the Finals!!

What a start to the week! It doesn’t get any more exciting than that… until the next update, that is!
Stay tuned, and keep sending in those throws!

I switched from red to white after game 3, but now I’m questioning which glass for game 7. Was rosé an option too???
Oh well, the die has been cast, cheers!

Game 7!!!
Here we are, a Semi-Finals Game 7, the one you’ve all been waiting for!
Who will get a chance at the 2026 RPS Crown? Will it be the up-and-comer NerdAlert, who sprinted out to a 3-0 lead, or the never-say-die kid NumericalNeuroticism, who then proceeded to win the next 3 games to bring us to this point. NN’s got the momentum, but do we really think NerdAlert’s gonna lose 4 in a row?
It’s time to find out!
Like most games this semi-final, it only took one throw.
(dramatic pause)
(even longer dramatic pause, given the moment)
(commercial interlude 
)
(back to the dramatic pause)
… and advancing to the finals to take on Ted_Hoffman for the 2026 RPS title is…
4th time’s a charm - NerdAlert advances to the finals!!
