Fifty people gathered Saturday afternoon at Hat City Kitchen, 459 Valley St., for The Orange's first rock-paper-scissors, RPS, tournament.
Two different tournaments were hosted, one for adults and the other for kids under 18. More than a dozen competitors from the New York tri-state area attended the event.
Mike Cicora, of Iselin, won the adult tournament and qualified to compete in next year's World Rock Paper Scissors Society championship in Toronto. There is no qualifying competition for kids.
The competition was hosted by Hat City Kitchen, HANDS Inc., University of Orange and the Orange Recreation Department.
