Thumb Wrestling
Verdict
The "playing area" in Thumb Wrestling is formed by the players' hands: Players grasp each other's right (or left) hand with fingers interlocked; Thumbs are positioned upright, side by side; The interlocked fingers create a "ring" or "arena" in which the thumbs compete
Why people argue about this
People often assume that the playing area in thumb wrestling is defined by the entire hand, including fingers and palm - thinking it's about who can grip better or use more strength. But actually, the official rule specifies only the players' thumbs are considered part of the "playing area," ignoring everything else for a fair competition based solely on dexterity and speed.
