Competition
Most sport stacking competitions are geared toward children, with for ages 18 and under. There are also divisions for "Special Stackers" (disabled competitors).
The WSSA has set the following protocol for the setting of world records:
- Must use WSSA-approved sport stacking cups.
- Must use a StackMat and Tournament Display.
- Must be video taped for review and verification purposes.
- Must use 3 Judges (one designated Head Judge) to judge each try. After each try the 3 Judges confer. The Head Judge will then designate with a color-coded card the outcome of that try. (Green-Clean Run, Yellow-Try in Question(Immediate Video Review) and Red–Scratch).
- A finals Judge may not be a family member or the Sport Stacking Instructor of the Stacker.
The competition is divided into twelve different age divisions, ranging from 6 and under to Seniors (60 and up). State, national and world records are recorded on the WSSA website.
