    "Bud Light congratulates Sean on winning one of the most prestigious titles in sports," said Rick Leininger, director, Bud Light. "The Bud Light/USARPS League Championship is all about competition, camaraderie, and most importantly, fun times. And what's more fun than a trip to Vegas, $50,000 and a chance to represent our country on the global stage? The international finals in Beijing offer an ideal culmination to the most thrilling season of Rock Paper Scissors to date."
