Did you say "trained referees"?

Let's count the ridiculous concepts in this news article;

1) a 25,000 pound prize
2) over 300 contestants...some from OVERSEAS
3) they had a "pre-tournament favorite"
4) who wore special garb for psychological advantage
5) it required paramedics in case they injured themselves in the competition
6) they categorize fouls

You would think I was talking about boxing or wrestling or some other vigourous physical activity. You would think wrong. No, we are discussing the world championships of Rock, Paper, Scissors....

How much training does it require to BE an RPS referee? "Okay, there are three symbols they can throw. Rock, paper, scissors. That's it."
"What about a grenade?"
"Grenade?"
"Yeah, where he throws a rock but leaves his thumb up."
"Then he is disqualified. Rock, paper, scissors, nothing else."
"How else can he get disqualified?"
"Well, if the throws a vertical rock or a horizontal scissor in an effort to deceive his opponent, he is d-q'd."
"Okay, how else?"
"Well, if he waits to see what his opponent throws before making his own selection then he is dq'd."
"Uh-huh. And how else?"
"Whatyya mean how else? There really isn't anything else to it. It ain't rocket science, its rock, paper, scissors."
"yes, well, if you are training me as a referee I need to make sure I am fully prepared."
"Okay, we will train you in basic medicine in case someone dislocates a wrist or shoulder while playing."
"Dude, don't be ridiculous. I don't need that training, we are playing Rock, Paper, Scissors."
"You are right...forget that part of the training, we will just get paramedics."
