Round one of the first Saturday Swing Shift RPS Tournament provided lots of exciting action. Let's take a looke at the results of week one's exciting match-ups:

BPM----- R S R R S - 3
Slick----- S P P R P - 1

The first of the day's match-ups, Slick was taken out of his game immediately. Having learned RPS on the streets, Slick never adjusted to BPM's clinical style, falling behind 2-0 after the first two throws. A "paper covers rock" victory and a "rocks push" kept him in the game for the next to throws, but BPM's unexpected choice of "scissors" on the final throw of the game put Slick out of action. The professional conduct of this tournament took Slick out of his game, his questionable tactics remaining under control for now.


Rashid--- S R P S R P P S P S R P - 3
Sean------ P R P R R P P S P S S R - 1

Easily the day's most exciting match. Rashid came out confident, sure of every throw, winning the first and looking to move on easily. Sean, a veteran, wouldn't fall so easily, though. The next two throw were pushes, with Sean tying things up with a crafty throw of "Rock" in throw four. The next six throws will be discussed by RPS journalists for generations to come not only for there pulse pounding excitement, but for there controversial nature. Six straight pushes after which Rashid requested a time out, removed his ring and readied himself for continued play. Rashid promptly won the next two throws and moves on to the semi-finals over Sean's objections.


BOJ----- P S R R P S - 3
Scott---- S P S R S P - 2

Another exciting match. After a false start by Scott, play resumed with Scott winning the first thorw with a cunning choice of "scissors." BOJ was able to overcome the intial setback by winning the next two throws. The competitors found themselves deadlocked after five throws, the hushed crowd settling in for a long, drawn out battle. BOJ threw "scissors" on throw six to Scott's "paper" in an anti-climactic ending that no one enjoyed. The big star of this match was "scissors," a winner of four of the five points in this match, and only coming out on the losing end in one throw.
