From the physically and mentally taxing sport of chess boxing to the psychological battlefield that is the rock-paper-scissors championship, to the underground world of illegal jart throwing, sportswriter Reilly subjected himself to both bodily danger and abject humiliation in order to personally find the world's strangest sporting event. Chronicling his adventures as only he can, he enters a world of bizarre characters, fierce competition, and exotic locals – with stops in Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, England, and even a maximum security prison at Angola, Louisiana – and the result is a laugh-out-loud book perfect for any sports fan.
