The Second Round

All results are in for The Opening Round, and the winning entries have moved on. Three of the winning entries from our First Four have moved on again, each taking down their 1-seed opponent. Will we see a return of the magic from five years ago, when Kate R.'s First Four entry "Seductive maternity photo shoots" battled all the way through to be our 2019 Champion?

We again mourn the demise of some truly inspired entries to the tournament. Fans and analysts worldwide were sad to see "When a meeting ends early and the organizer 'gives you time back'", "Trying to remain part of the conversation from the front seat of the Uber", "Seeing a coworker at the local pool and pretending not to notice each other's bodies", and "Excitedly having nostalgic food from youth and it's not as good as you remember" all pack their bags, after all received tough first-round draws. I was personally pulling hard for "'When I sat down to write this speech...'" one of my favorites this year, and an entry that epitomizes the bizarre minutiae of the world that our fair tournament is all about.
