Ping: Under The Radar: May 2007 Archives
Last night was the Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) tournament at The Florida Room, a whirlwind double-elimination tournament of 28 competitors that was over in under an hour! Competing for Team UrHo was Josh "The Rock" Berezin and "Paper" Willow.
The prize was a Rainier cooler full of beer schwag, but it seemed that most everyone was really playing for pride. I tried to broker a deal between the people we knew to play The Infinite Draw* but the competitive spirit was too strong.
The rounds were fast. While the judges had the final say and did put in place a "No Weird Bullshit" rule, it was difficult to tell who was moving on and who was being regulated to the loser's bracket. With no breaks and little explanation, it wasn't long before we were watching the final rounds.

*The Infinite Draw is when two players get locked into throwing the same thing over and over and over again for fear that the other person will anticipate their next move.
