Yours Truly Still Kicking It At RPS

How could someone not win a match after the first week of the season and still be in the top 10? Why, in the wonderful land of rock paper scissors!

Yes, although I haven’t won a match since a final eight appearance in the first event of the season, yours truly (aka Danny Awesome) is still in the top 10 as of earlier this week. Or maybe I did win a match somewhere in there. Nevertheless, after a tremendous offseason — one finals appearance, two other final four appearances — I’m struggling just about midway through the 2008 City League season.

Never fear, though: Due to the rules of the City League, which encourage people to show up, it appears I have a shot at following up last year’s top-8 finish at the league championships with a top-10 finish in the regular season this year. Also, I got like 10 bonus points for refereeing the tournament at the Riversharks game last week, even though I didn’t have to referee at all.

Tonight’s event is at 9:30 at The Dive. Seriously, it’s fun, and most of the people aren’t as neurotic as I am. Honest!

Philadelphia Will Do is the official sponsor of the timeouts of this year’s Pabst Blue Ribbon Philadelphia Rock Paper Scissors City League Championship Series. Each week, a post about it! Hopefully I’ll go tonight so I’ll actually have something to write about next week.
