WRPSA has run rock paper scissors as a sport since 2015: a numbered rulebook, rankings from recorded results, and live events from Hungary to the weekly online Open.
Rock paper scissors is a two-player hand game with three throws. You both throw at once and compare. A round takes seconds. A match shows you how someone plays. Start with the game above.
Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock. Matching throws are a tie. No choice beats both of the others, so there is no hand you can safely repeat forever. Agree on the count before playing face to face.
Read the official rulesWin two rounds to win a best-of-three match. A tied round gives neither player a point, so a match can take more than three throws. The scoreboard keeps the match score separate from the number of rounds played.

Challenge a friendAgainst a person, your own habits matter as much as theirs. Notice repeated choices and how you react to a loss, but do not treat a pattern as a promise. No throw guarantees a win against an unknown next move.
