WRPSA Mission and History

First published September 20, 20251 min read

Mission The World Rock Paper Scissors Association exists to make Rock Paper Scissors the most accessible and competitive sport in the world. Our goal is to provide a fair, fun, and professional environment where anyone can compete and anyone can win. We set global standards for rules, rankings, and tournaments while building a community that celebrates skill, strategy, and sportsmanship.

History The WRPSA was founded to bring structure and recognition to a game played by billions of people worldwide. While Rock Paper Scissors has been used for centuries to settle decisions, it was rarely treated as a serious competitive sport.

Over the years, the WRPSA has hosted world-class events, developed official rulebooks, and worked with major brands like Pepsi to bring Rock Paper Scissors to a global audience. From local tournaments to international championships, we’ve created a platform where players of all ages and backgrounds can compete, connect, and grow the sport.

Today, the WRPSA continues to lead the way in promoting Rock Paper Scissors as both a fun pastime and a professional competition recognized worldwide.
