The winner claims one of the 16 seeds in the Entertainment Bracket of the Tournament of Rick. The matchup:

Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield (born Richard Lewis Springthorpe on August 23, 1949 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) is a songwriter, musician and actor. As a musician, he is most famous for the 1981 #1 single "Jessie's Girl", which became a Grammy Award-winning landmark of 1980s pop-rock and helped establish the emerging music video age. Also an actor, Springfield's best known role is that of the character Dr. Noah Drake on the daytime drama General Hospital. He originated the character from 1981-1983, and then returned to play him again from 2005 until present.

VS

Rick Derringer

Rick Derringer (born Richard Zehringer, 5 August 1947, in Fort Recovery, Ohio) is an American guitarist, vocalist, and entertainer. He is perhaps best known for the song "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo". When he was just 17, his band The McCoys recorded "Hang on Sloopy" in the summer of 1965, which became the number one song in America before "Yesterday" by The Beatles knocked it out of the top spot. Rick was also "Weird Al" Yankovic's Lead guitarist for five years, before being replaced by Jim West. Derringer also performed a track for the World Wrestling Federation on The Wrestling Album. "Real American" would later be used as Hulk Hogan's entrance music.

Where's Astley??

Like I said in one of the other play-in threads - patience. I had a few too many Ricks, so five play-ins were needed. Fear not, Astley is in the tourney field.
