Have you ever played Rock Papers Scissors?Have you ever taken it to the next level and competed in Rock Paper Scissors? Have you ever been to the World Rock Paper Scissors Championships or any other higher level Rock Paper Scissors competition? If you have said ‘yes’ to any of the above, I would like to hear from you. I am a graduate student in the department of Sociology at the University of Calgary, and I am doing research on the ‘sport’ of competitive Rock Paper Scissors and the people who are involved with or compete in such events. I am seeking participants to take part in a one-on-one interview. The interviews are informal and will last approximately one hour. Your identity and any information you provide will remain both anonymous and confidential. If you would like more information on the research project, or would like to participate, please contact RPS Study (mailto:rps.study@gmail.com)

Lot's of email has been coming to the World RPS offices asking/begging/demanding information about the 2009 World RPS Championship event. Now, we can't completely confirm things at the moment as we have some details to take care of, but all we can say is don't make any plans for November 14 2009, unless they are about getting you on a plane to Toronto...if you know what we mean.
