Rock Paper Scissors Championships

events

Wednesday, 8 August 2012 - Wednesday, 8 August 2012
Registration from 5.30. Event starts 6.50pm - 9.30
Gather your teams, prepare your strategies, and ready your most intimidating outfits.
thirty two global teams will go fist to fist at the Knights Templar, Chancery Lane as they bid to be the best at the world's most popular sport - Rock Paper Scissors. 

Teams of four will need to pit their wits, hold their nerve and demonstrate a multitude of skills in an international knock-out tournament of Rock Paper Scissors. 

You can take part. Choose your team of four sportsmen and/or women and select a country to represent, and then sign up to qualify as an official entrant. It doesn't matter how tenuous your link with the country, the organisers will accept that you are the elected official representative.

Event organiser and co-founder of Wacky Nation Sally Raynes says: "It's guaranteed to be three hours of fun, excitement and tension and the best thing is that absolutely any team could walk away as the Olimpik Champions.  Surprisingly, it's not just about luck.  Tactics, technique, reverse psychology, confidence, cunning and even deception all come into play.  It's a lot like poker but far more exciting. Bizaarly, there is even an element of fitness with elbow cramp and tiredness potential concerns for competitors".

Countries already represented include Great Britain, Leichtenstein, China, Japan and the Vatican City.  With 196 countries in the World, there are plenty of choices of who to represent and it doesn't matter if a team's association to a country is as tenuous as a great uncle from Estonia or sympathy for Greece.
