RPS 2004 Training Blog

Welcome to the All Too Flat Rock-Paper-Scissors Team Training Blog. The ATFRPS Team is once again heading to Toronto to compete in the 2004 International RPS Tournament on October 16th. This is our 3rd time qualifying for the world championships, and hopefully one of us will win it all this year!

By keeping this Blog, we hope to give amateurs some insight into the world of competitive Rock-Paper-Scissors, without giving away too much of our strategy. With 1 month to go until the tournament, we are setting off on a rigorous training training program. This blog will contain some of the most cutting edge (no pun intended) strategies in the game today.

To see how the entire trip up to Toronto went, check out the main RPS 2004 ATF Site.

Who was that Masked Fish?Posted by Ben at 9-19-2004 2:29 PM
Costume ideas. What a difficult decision. Here are some of the ideas we've had thus far:

  • Giant Halibut - Yeah, we know it's the obvious costume, but it's definitely the most appropriate. There are logistical problems though. We contacted US Customs about this idea, and they told us that it's not the proper political climate to be smuggling 350lb fish over the border.

  • Refrigerator Box with Arm-Hole & Eye-Slit - Competitively speaking, this is probably the possible costume. Practically speaking, it would be almost as difficult to maneuver as a giant halibut. Nixed this one.

  • Superheros - this could be good. We need to make it to that superhero store in Brooklyn and start pricing utility belts.

  • Sumo Suits (clearly this would be brilliant, but we have been saving the Sumo Suit idea for another ATF Adventure. Kennyb and Ben have been planning for some time now to put on Sumo Suits and march (well, rollerblade actually) in every single parade in New York City over the course of a year. Macy's Day Parade. Gay Pride Parade. Puerto Rican Day Parade.) It's still on the ol' To Do List, but has been pushed to the back burner for the time being.)
