Rock Paper Scissors World Championships
The Rock Paper Scissors World Championships takes place each year at Steam Whistle Brewing in Toronto. Referees in striped shirts direct the action as a joyously inebriated crowd howl their support for their favourites, many resplendent in elaborate fancy dress.
Rock paper scissors is a game we all knew and played as kids. Competitors play by making standard hand signals to represent the elements of rock, paper and scissors. Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock and scissors beats paper - that's it.
Simple it may be, but the stakes are high and the championships attract players from all over Canada and the rest of the world. The winner walks off with a cool C$10,000 and competition gets surprisingly intense given that the game is 'the ultimate, nonviolent conflict resolution'.
