Also, you get one "fire" for your entire lifetime. Fire beats everything.

Except "water." You also get one water for your lifetime. Water loses to everything except fire.

Although, I'm not sure if these rules run in any circles other than the Ultimate Frisbee community. It's actually very key there because captains will often rosham for sides, possession, etc.

I've actually heard of a water over fire throw at an Ultimate tourney.

yeah I read about one on RSD. Forget the details but I remember it sounded out of control.

why woudl it be out of control?

assume two teams near the end of a tournament. Team A (TA) and Team B(TB)

TA is great at offense and ok at defense. TA also wins 80% of the games that they start out ahead.

TB is good at offense and good at defense. TB knows TA.

clearly in a 1 shot RPS match, TA will throw fire b/c they need to win. TB will realize this and throw water.

TA will of course realize this and thus throw rock/paper/scissor. TB, realizing that, will throw fire. TA, realizing that, will throw water. So, TB...

Nice try, sport.
