hahaha this is awesome. From Mess Hall:

“Rochambeau [raw-shahn-boh]
Noun. The game of Rock Paper Scissors (as three words, ro cham beau). The syllables called out by players of Rock Paper Scissors to synchronize their timing.

Tips on how to win:
Costumes, theme songs and a competative edge are what fuels this fire. We suggest practicing against your co-workers, Uber drivers, or even your dog so you can come ready to throw down your best sequence of Rock, Paper and Scissors. We highly suggest you eat, drink and sleep Rock, Paper, Scissors in the days leading up to the competition. Consumption of Troegs beers during the Tournament may enhance your performance as well.”
