Rock Paper Scissors Champs – 2009 AUST Open Grand Final Results

Play is now complete in the 5^th annual 2009 ‘Australian Open Rock Paper Scissors Championships’ (ARPSC).

After months of gruelling & mind numbing competition only one player would concur this war of attrition and inturn claim the prestigious title & take home the major prize of a trip to Canada to attend & compete in 8^th annual 2009 World RPS Championships (WRPSC) in Toronto, 14^th November.

Michael Stewart aka ‘Senior Mick’ (pic left) a 40 year old motor vehicle salesman from Brisbane, QLD took out the Grand Final on Saturday 1^st of August on the Gold Coast, QLD.

Unfortunately Mick was knocked out in early rounds at the 2009 WRPSC. Tim Conrad from Michigan, USA won the 2009 WRPSC.

Second place went to Cassie Freriechs aka ‘Kickass Cassie’ (pic left) from NSW with Kat Hitchings aka 'Kat Power' from New Zealand taking out third place.

The tension in the main arena as the players battled for the title was extremely intense and was only matched by the very vocal & appreciative crowd.

Preparation is already underway for the 2010 ‘ARPSC’. Players, coaches and trainers are now encouraged to hone their skills in the off season in order to put their best hand forward for the 2010 series.
