PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A group of Brigham Young Students is hoping to organize the world's largest rock-paper-scissors tournament.
This will be the second such contest hosted by the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization. Last year, 800 people took fist to palm to compete for the $2,500 grand prize. This year, the pot has been sweetened by an extra $500. The prize money is being donated by Orem-based Omniture.
But the tournament, set for 3 p.m Friday in the LaVell Edwards Stadium parking lot, isn't just for fun and games. Each contestant's $5 entrance fee will go to fund local entrepreneurship organizations and a charity that provides loans to aspiring businesspeople in developing countries.
