Tetris World Championship

The annual NES Tetris competition launched in 2010.

The Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) is a video game competition series hosted by the SoCal Gaming Expo. It began in 2010, during the filming of the documentary Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters, to find the world's greatest Tetris player. Players compete on the NES version of Tetris, and the rise of new playing styles has brought a wave of scoring records.
