Rock, Paper, Scissors Competition at Up All Night

     The Student Athletic Advisory Committee is organizing a Rock, Paper, Scissors competition to be held this Friday at the Up All Night festivities to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The cost to participate in the competition is five dollars a student.  Winners of the competition will receive a variety of prizes ranging from a DVD player to gift certificates.  The remainder of the earnings will be donated to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

     "It's really nice that Wal-Mart and local restaurants donated the prizes for the competition so our committee didn't have to use any of the money we raised.  All the profits will go to the Make-A-Wish foundation," said SAAC President Neil Cacciola. 

     To find competitors, six of the SAAC members are assigned a dorm or residency where they will go around and ask students if they would like to participate in the competition.  Members will be going around the residencies this week. A number of spots will be available for students who wish to walk into the competition the night of Up All Night.   

     "I'm really excited for this event.  I think a lot of students will have fun and the Make-A-Wish foundation will benefit as well," said SAAC Vice President Kayleigh Jaksina. A bracket will be set up with all the competitors.  A competitor will be randomly paired up with another competitor.  The pair will play Rock, Paper, Scissors three times.  The competitor that wins two out of the three times will be the winner.  The winner will then go against another winner. 

     "Winners will continue to go against other winners until there are no winners left.  Although there will be only one true champion, in the end we will be giving prizes to more than one winner," said Cacciola.

     Competitors will be required to face back-to-back to make sure no cheating will take place. "The SAAC members will walk around to make sure students leave when they have lost so the competition is fair for everyone," said Jaksina. The bracket will be set up on a projection screen for all competitors and spectators to view. Students interested in participating in the competition can contact an SAAC member or faculty advisor Sharon Bonaventure in the Athletic Department Office in Edgewood.
