I saw an ad on the way to work about the PBRPRPSCLCS. I'm considering joining. I decided not to play Ultimate this summer, so I need another sport to take up.

Now I'm at work, enduring a cold and looking forward to the Phillies game I'm going to tonight.

Unless each tie is resolved by a series of physical challenges, then you need to take up a more active sport.

A non-contact sport, at least usually, I'll admit. But still a sport!

Much in the same way that poker and NASCAR are "sports". Desh, seriously.

Hey, man, not only are those both on ESPN, but you happened to name the two fastest growing sports in the country, the latter of which might already be the most popular sport in America by some measures.

Though on the other hand, Magic: The Gathering was once on ESPN also...

There is a reason obesity is such a problem in this country.

According to the official rules at http://worldrps.com, section 6.1:

Players may use any combination of these throws at any time throughout the match. Any throws that are not comforming to the standard hand positions (outlined above) and thus deemed to be a rock (stone), paper, or scissors is considered to be an illegal throw and is thus forbidden. Should a player execute an illegal throw, the opposing player has the right (but not the obligation) to claim immediate victory over the round (not the match). Alternatively, the infringed upon player has the right but not the obligation to replay the current game if he/she so chooses.

So couch is right out.
