    Washington, DC
    Faux Athletic Recreational Tournaments (FART) was formed in 2008 in order to foster a local sense of community by sponsoring interactive pseudo-sports tournaments and community outreach activities. The founders of this organization wanted to take a stance against the growing isolation amongst Americans documented in books such as Bowling Alone. By providing fully inclusive local activities it is the aim of FART to foster a sense of community. The focus of Faux Athletics is not simply because these are funnier to watch and participate in than â??realâ?? sports. Faux Athletics allow those of all abilities to be involved which is key to our mission.

About Rock Paper Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors History

The game of rock-paper-scissors originated in Japan in the late 19th century and was popularized throughout the world in the 20th century. The game was first known as Jan-ken-pon in Japanese. "Ken" in Japanese is fist. Currently the game is played by school children worldwide, and there are many cultural variations of the game. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, on April 3, 2009, Colonel By Secondary School in Ottawa, Canada, held the largest recorded rock-paper-scissors tournament, with approximately 1150 participants.
