To set a record, a Stacker must participate in a WSSA Sanctioned Tournament. The WSSA currently recognizes the existing World Record hand times, (using stop watches) that have been previously established, until a new record is set using the new official timing device of the WSSA, the StackMat® Competition Timer.

In addition to participating in a Sanctioned event, to set a record you must follow these three criteria:

 

1) Must use a StackMat® Competition Timer.

2) Must be video taped for review and verification purposes.

3) Must have 3 Judges* (one is 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 Cup Stacking Instructor of the Stacker.

 

Video Setup Standard

1) The camera must be centered on the Stacker, with a straight on view, on a tripod (encouraged but optional) and Judges positioned as to not obstruct the camera’s view of the Stacker.

2) The picture frame must include the front view of the following: the Stacking Surface, 12 cups, Stacker’s hands, Stacker’s face and the Tournament Display (if used). Note: If a Tournament Display is not used the camera must record the display on the StackMat ® Timer after each stack.

3) For identification purposes the Head Judge will say the first and last name of the Stacker and Division to the video camera before the Stacker’s first attempt.

4) All warm ups must be videotaped too.

 

Video Review Procedure

1) The following Officials have the authority to request a Video Review: a representative of the WSSA (if present), Tournament Director(s), Division Manager(s), Relay Manager(s) and the 3 Judges who are judging the division finals.

2) If one of the authorized officials questions the outcome of a try, the try is immediately reviewed by the 3 Judges and the Official who called for the review.

3) If there is not a consensus after the review, the 3 Judges must request a higher authorized Official to review the try. The higher authorized Official, after reviewing the video and conferring with 3 Judges, will then make the final judgment.

 

Verification/WSSA Video Review

1) Final’s videos and tournament results must be submitted to the WSSA within 30 days after the event.

2) For identification purposes each video will be labeled with the name of the event, date of the event, division, tournament director’s name, telephone number and email address.

3) For record’s verification the ‘Records Verification Form’ must be completed and attached to the video.
