2007 USARPS Title Match

Check out the $50,000 final match at the 2007 USARPS Championship in Las Vegas, the biggest throwdown in hand sport history. Should you be on this stage?

[@slartibartfast4240]

The level of athleticism is beyond any sport on earth and other star systems. The sheer skill and level of intensity of these athletes training will drop a pro footballer in minutes.

Woow havent seen dualing like this since the 1978 Ontario finals. Such a good dual. This was a very close match. Both players very composed and professional. Jamie did deserve to win this. See that Rock top draw followed by scissors. Did NOT expect that, thought he would go for the straight run instead of forcing a bad hand. Guess thats why he is the 07 champ. Nice job

[@jujucasar2003]

If i were to face one of these guys I would just try as hard as possible to lose. If they are supposedly this skilled, they would be countering all the moves I would be doing if I were trying to win, so by trying to lose, i would obviously win.

[@sir_trevor0]

I don't think it works like that.

[@Alex-nk4pk]

But unless you were skilled at knowing the tactics on winning it then you would not know the best tactic for losing and to be able to lose you also need to have an idea of what the opponent would be going for (same as winning) so even if you were skilled enough to know how to lose there would be no point as it requires the same skill as trying to win and they could also pick up on your patterns.
