I am a lover of the simple things in life. The crossword puzzle, a lazy afternoon on the couch with my dog and a delicious meal can all brighten up my mood. Even childhood games can put a smile on my face, and my friends and I have started a weekly board-game night to break up the monotony of the work week.
    When I first heard that Philadelphia was going to be hosting its own season-long, Pabst Blue Ribbon-sponsored Rock-Paper-Scissors City League Championship tournament, I was beside myself with giddiness. Not only is Rock-Paper-Scissors a game I am seriously awesome at, the winner of the tournament gets to go home with a $1,000 cash prize.
    Contestants are allowed to organize their own teams and compete in weekly face-offs with other competitors at different bars across the city including Dirty Franks, the Raven Lounge, and the Dive. Competitors wishing to form a new team can submit a new team registration request via e-mail to urbanus@rpscityleague.com, and all teams must have a minimum of two players. The competitor that accumulates the most points at the end of the season will win the grand prize. A $250 prize will be awarded to the runner-up.
