The Paperplane Sport was created when an individual found themselves bored at home with only a clothes hanger and piece of paper. The sport involves throwing a paper airplane made from a single sheet of paper towards a triangular clothes hanger from a distance of 3 meters, with the goal of flying through the hanger. Players are scored based on how far their paper plane flies through the hanger, and competitions are held semiannually. The players with the highest scores after 10 attempts each are awarded prizes of a golden hanger, silver hanger, and bronze paper plane for first, second, and third place respectively.
