There has been quiet murmurings around the West Coast Cowan club that a new Australian Champion could be in our ranks. I can't say too much but the young man displays all of the traits we once saw on the field on the larger Rock Paper Scissors stage...

An internationally renowned sport, the history of Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) is extremely rich. RPS is also know as; Jenken or Jan Ken Pon (Japan), Roshambo (Southwestern U.S.), Shnik Shnak Shnuk (Germany), Ching Chong Chow (South Africa), Farggling (U.S.) & Scissors Paper Stone (United Kingdom).

RPS is a decision making game of wits, speed, dexterity and strategy between players who are unable to reach a decision using other means. The result of a match is considered a binding agreement between the players. In the case of professional or tournament play the decision is replaced by honour points toward a championship title.

ARPSC competition rules are governed, maintained and approved by the World RPS Society (WRPSS) under the guidance and authority of the World RPS Steering Committee.

The next competition is being held at Captain Stirling, it would be great to see some more West Coast boys giving it a crack!
