Rock, Paper, Scissors: A Global Competition You Didn't Know Existed

Rock, Paper, Scissors: More Than Child's Play? The World Rock Paper Scissors Association (WRPSA) is a global organization that hosts tournaments for this classic game. Founded in 2015, the WRPSA has gained popularity in countries like Canada, Japan, and the United States. The WRPSA's rules vary, with tournaments often played to the best of three, five, or seven rounds. One host on La Mega's El Mañanero show expressed surprise at the WRPSA's existence, saying, "Oh wow! It's like FIFA, but for rock, paper, scissors!" The WRPSA's existence highlights the unexpected popularity of simple games and the organized communities built around them.
