I just got back from the 2003 World Rock Paper Scissor Championships, held here in Toronto, and organized by the WorldRPS Society The grand champion, winning $5000, was a member of the “Legion of the Red Fist.” I was an official tournament referee there, so I’ll have an update later.
Update. Photos from the event. The Official Photo Gallery.
“Legion of the Red Fist”. That’s so hilariously awesome. Oh, and I saw Kill Bill. I was 20 minutes late (not intentionally) and got there after 2 bars of the opening song. Lucky ^_^
The 2003 RPS championship was one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever been too. ‘Team Smoot’ is already training for next year.
Can I just say that I’m equally blown away by the fact that there is such a competition and yet not totally surprised after seeing the effects of Star Trek on the Oshawa Santa Claus Parade.
‘Team Smoot’ is definitely the rising star of the RPS circuits. I’m sure you’ll make a good run next year.
Star Trek? How can you compare that fantasy-fandom to this serious, international, competitive event? Pfft.
