The rising worldwide phenomenon of Rock, Paper, Scissors comes to the south-west this Friday night thanks to a local country band. Rusty Buckets - which features Russell Goodear, Michael Schack and Ricky Holmes - will host the first of a series of Rock, Paper, Scissors games (or RPS as it's known to the professionals). The inaugural `rock off' will coincide with the Rusty Buckets gig at Mickey Bourke's Koroit Hotel on Friday night, with heats to be held in the set breaks. Goodear said it was anticipated that subsequent heats would be held alongside the monthly Rusty Buckets performances at the Koroit pub, with a final to be held close to Christmas. He said prizes would be up for grabs - as well as the title of Western District RPS champion. RPS has been growing in popularity thanks to growing media coverage of Victorian and national championships. Melbourne venues have started holding regular RPS nights, while its cameo on Big Brother 5 also helped thrust what was traditionally a children's game into the limelight.
Michael Schack and Bruce Murley are ready to host a Rock, Paper, Scissors game at Koroit.
