Check here weekly to see our PROGRESS and activity.
This week we "researched" rock paper scissors. Yes, we know basically everyone knows how to play rock paper scissors. We get it, but did you know there's an entire rock paper scissors tournament that occurs often throughout the year? Many people even bet money in order to play. It's a big deal to some people. Plus, we are running out of sports that don't require a lot of equipment that we don't already have.
The USA Rock Paper Scissors League is a national competition league for players. The first tournament occurred in 2006 and it is considered to be an annual thing each year. There is a $50,000 cash prize for the champion plus all of the money that was bet between players. During the tournament, the best 2 out of 3 "throws" which are the actual games, wins the set. The best 2 out of 3 sets, wins that match. The tournaments are single elimination, so once you lose one match you are out. A lot of competitors even come in costume for these tournaments. I understand that many may not consider rock paper scissors a sport, we don't really either. Many think of rock paper scissors as merely a way to figure out who gets something or as a way to settle disagreements. Though to many, rock paper scissors is a game that they play for a living. Many have different strategies or can somehow predict what the other person will throw, and that is why it is considered a sport to many people all over the world.
