Reviewed 12 October 2026 against what the host tools do today.
A Rock Paper Scissors tournament needs a format, a list of players and a way to run the bracket. WRPSA's host tools cover all three.
Step 1: Create the event
Open Host and create an event. Pick a tournament, give it a name, a date and a capacity. The bracket can be single elimination, double elimination, round robin or Swiss, and matches can be best of 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Seeding can be random, by rating, or set by you.
Step 2: Open registration
Publish the event so it appears in the event directory, then share its link. Players register from the event page; they need a free WRPSA account to do it.
Step 3: Run the bracket
On the day, run the event from your host console. Pairings follow the format you chose, and the bracket updates as results come in. Players who added a phone number get a text when their match is ready.
Step 4: Publish the results
When the last match is decided, the final bracket stays on the event page for everyone who took part.
Before your first event, read the tournament guide for formats, byes, disputes and fair play, and check hosting prices for what each kind of event includes.
