Having a tournament for a game based on luck doesn't make sense to me.
The leader board would just be a normal distribution of impulse choices.
I suppose it's about the atmosphere.

Yeah. I mean clearly, the outcomes are completely based on chance.
But it makes a lot more sense if you approach it like Professional Wrestling, except the winners aren't decided ahead of time. And everyone seems to be genuinely enjoying themselves.

It's a fun thing.
Thinking of wrestling, this one from Shiori Tomita ft. Ladybeard still amuses me.

It's incongruous on various levels.

I think the idea of enlivening a rock/paper/scissors/stone event with a contestant shouting CHAIR as their opponent is twatted from behind with a folded chair has some merit

Heh, or go literal, combat with actual objects.
Should be okay until someone invents rock scissors.

It’s not all luck
Humans are quite poor at generating random number strings. We tend to use patterns. Understanding your opponents Roshambo patterns can shade the odds in your favour, like a goal keeper analysing patterns of an opposition penalty kick taker. I tend to win against my kids because I know what they favour. When we pick the same, one tends to try the opposing shape, while the other persists with it

You're right, I'm too hungover for thinking.

Don’t get me wrong, fcm, it aint exactly chess either
Go for a full English breakfast, black pudding, fried slice, the works. It won’t help your hangover but it’ll make your spew look more colourful
