The NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship - First prize: NP$1250

Quick link:
-------> Groups, schedule and rules. <-------


Welcome to the first ever NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship!

It's one of the most popular games of the world: Rock Paper Scissors. The rules are pretty simple. You choose one of the three weapons and hope that it beats the weapon of your opponent. Rock smashes scissors. Scissors cut paper. Paper covers rock.

A match in this tournament will consist of 11 rounds of throwing. The person who wins more rounds, wins the match. If there's a draw in a knock-out match, the match will be decided via sudden death (next winning round wins the match). The players have to sent me their moves via PM till the respective deadline.

The structure of the tournament will be probably like the World Cup finals with a group stage and a knock-out stage, but depends on the number of participants. If there are less than 8 participants, it'll be a round-robin-tournament. The structure will be posted after the end of registration. There'll be presumably 2 matches a week.

If you want to participate, post something like "count me in" in this thread, so I know how many people want to join the tournament. The registration will be open till Friday, March 28, 6PM EST. Registration has been closed

You don't have to pm me your moves yet, as there is no schedule yet, but it's possible. The first deadline will be announced after the registration has closed.

The winner of this tournament will be crowned NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Champion and will be awarded also the mind-blowing, overwhelming prize of NP$50.... NP$500... NP$750... NP$1000 ... NP$1250! (omg!) (thanks to the kind generosity of Etab, Trips No Limit, vatsan and Irieman). The winner will get also a trophy icon for his profile! (Thanks to -RJ-)

[RJ]

Congrats winners!

Trips- good match. You're a tough opponent. I had a paper attack all loaded up but changed it to scissors at the last minute because I was pretty much baffled at what direction you would go next.

 

[Phil]

Thanks! It was a close one. If I had started off the pattern
with scissors you would have won. Great game!

 

[kruwreka]

Thanks mis_chiff
Never thought I'd make it this far.
Of course winning the semifinal was a breeze since Tight-Aggressive
decided to take the economy approach and recycled his moves.
Really Tight-Aggressive, what were you thinking? Testing to see if
anyone was paying attention. :p :hehe:

 

[RJ]

Almost there! Good luck guys!
