We’re having trouble with the lights and the sound system, so we’ll have to delay the formal opening ceremonies until later this evening.
And it’s true… as long as we round to the nearest 13 hours! 
Anyhow, I don’t want to keep y’all waiting any longer, so here are the brackets - good luck, everyone!

Zekey!
I’m a lurker who decided to jump in over my head by joining this year 
I PM’d my thows to UltimateAnyone, so hopefully I’m squared away for the matchup

Um, wow… this is so embarrassing. First the Opening Ceremonies get delayed, and then I lock myself out of the arena so I can’t even see the matches… :sigh: The 2026 RPS Committee once again apologies for these actions, and strives to serve the great good for the better here on out. We again thank you for your patience, and greatly appreciate the energy and enthusiasm y’all provide, both participants and spectators.
… but more importantly - at last, we finally can report on the initial throws of the tournament! Great job in getting your throws in, folks - let’s keep that up!

Did you ever consider hiring the intern from the pickem football game?

I see that Alexio fell for my trap!
RAND is for suckers.
I’m not an Excel power user, but I just tested out RANDARRAY(1,5,1,3,TRUE)!!! 
How many iterations before that spelled rasins ?
Go put RANDARRAY(1,5,1,3,TRUE) in an Excel spreadsheet and hit F9 until it spells… it spells… rai-SINS!!! 
I have a kid who’s offered to be my intern for $5.
Pretty sure they would offer to be the intern for this game for $5 as well.
Thank y’all once again for your patience - I think we’ve finally got all the kinks worked out in the RPS arena (it’s amazing all the little things that need to run a grand event such as this; you never really notice how smooth they work… until they don’t). That being said, we should be on our regular schedule going forward… so get ready for an exciting week ahead!
So far nearly everyone’s checked in for at least one throw, and we’ve had 3 matches already complete 2 games, and each of those matches is now at 1-1! I think that’s a sign of how intense this year’s tournament is going to go - no one is gonna easily run away with the title this year!
And on that note, here’s that phrase you love to hear: Keep those throws coming!
