I prefered Rock, Paper, Scissors, Thermo-nuclear warfar when I was a kid.

When the game was getting old, you'd fire your ICBM at your buddy's rock, paper or scissor to have mutually assured destruction.

Perhaps, but look at the purse on this thing . . .

RPS has captivated the hands and minds of decision makers all over the globe for centuries. Do you have what it takes to play RPS at a World-Class level? Now is your chance to show the World just how good you really are and share in the largest purse in World Championships of RPS history: $10,000 CDN.
First Prize: $7,000
Second Prize: $2,000
Third Prize: $500
Also special prize of $500 to be announced at the event.

Now, I'm just a simple bumpkin, but isn't it kinda sad that RPS can get this kind of purse but a 4-way team . . . no freekin' way.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Not only are they getting pretty decent cash prizes, their sport is getting air time on Fox Sports.

When is the last time the Nationals was coverd on Fox Sports.

This just blows. I mean, I -know- why skydiving sucks as a TV sport, but holy crap, why the f would -anyone- watch this?

Sadly because people can relate - they know how to play RPS...

very few people can relate or know how to skydive.

Well, I'd bet if it was on right now as this thread was posted you'd have at least as many people as are posting here watching!

Chances are I'd probably end up watching the whole thing. Of course, without a job at the moment my time alotted for wasting isn't exactly in short supply.

Killing threads since 2004.

after watching the video clip i am thinking peanuckle will become a 'sport' soon too.

Do you think writing notes in class and doing essays might be able to become a 'sport' as well
One competitor said on the video that he is more of an endurance player, not a sprinter. Others say they have been preparing their whole lives for this.
I wonder if they have to have coaches and playbooks.

You live by the rules . . . you die by the rules.

2.For those new to the game, the only acceptable throws are Rock, Paper and Scissors. Any use of Dynamite, Bird, Well, Spock, Water, Match, Fire, God, Lightning, Bomb, Texas Longhorn, or other non-sanctioned throws, will result in automatic disqualification.

rule number 8.8. ALL COMPETITORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY COMPETE AT OWN RISK.


" It is not recommended that novices attempt to use the physical versions of the RPS elements as they can cause serious harm or injury if not played properly."

Sounds extreme, i wonder if they sign a waiver

Whats sad is there's a website laying out "official rules" for this simple child's game.

What I want to see is a HUGE Red Rover game. Think about all the distruction, the broken elbows, the dislocated shoulders and torn spleens. Man that'd be great.
