Paper, Rock, Scissors - the official rules

[Boogie With Stu]

Since there was so much discussion of this in another thread - here are the official rules from the World Rock Paper Scissors Society:

Hah.. That's a great page. I like the part about how openning moves can tell what your opponent may be like. :D

That page has amused me for the last 20 minutes *giggle*

Heh, great page. Never understood the point of having paper in the game though. A direct translation of the Swedish name of the game would be "Rock, scissors, bag", a bag being a much better tool to trap a rock with than a piece of paper while still leaving it vulnerable to the power of a sharp scissor.

Silly English speaking people.

Silly English speaking people.

Quiet you!

I love this part:

5.0 Participants must exercise extreme dexterity, caution and care not initiate contact between the opposing fists during any point of the priming phase. The direct contact of the fists can cause scraping, chaffing, rapping of the knuckles. Make sure any onlookers are aware of the intentions of the players as the swinging of closed fists can be mistaken as a sign of a potentially combative situation.

5.0.1 Should direct contact occur players should stop play immediately and assess any personal injuries before restarting the prime.

Paramedics on standby, there's a big RPS game on tonight!
