Think "rock, paper, scissors (剪刀)" is a children's game? Think again.
Top players from around the world came together in Toronto to compete for a 10,000 – Canadian-dollar prize and the title of World Champion (世界冠军头衔). More than 500 players, including national champions from Australia, Norway and New Zealand, attended.
The simple game is often used to make decision and solve simple problems. Players hold their fists closed and count to three before making a fist (rock), a flat hand (paper) or two fingers (scissors). Paper covers rock, scissors cut paper and rock breaks scissors.
Players have different, opinions about the history of the game, but it is commonly believed to have been played for centuries in Japan. The Paper Scissors Stone Club opened in England in 1842 and players could play together there. In 1918, the name was changed to World RPS Club and its headquarters (总部) moved from London to Toronto.
The world championship started in 2002, and is held once every year.
