It is widely believed that the game was invented in Japan during the 19th century, although some say it's roots can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. Rock Paper Scissors has not been played in formal competition until very recently. The USARPS  (United States of America Rock Paper Scissors) League was formed in 2006. The first national championship was televised on the A&E network. The winner was awarded $50,000 grand prize.
