We Got Our Own Set of Cups!

Ever see those little kids stack cups up and down really fast? McDonalds did a commercial with a kid who is smoking fast. My nephew had a set of those cups at his house and I played with them for a while and had a ball, so I had to get a set and share the fun.

With that, sport stackers all over the world better watch out. Team CM now has a dedicated stacking practice facility. The facility includes a regulation Stack Mat and the cool little hand timer. Those cups you see aren't plain old Dixie cups, no. Stiff, CM green and aerodynamic with three holes for faster stacking. In fact, you can't even drink with this puppies. That's not what they're about.

In the top left of the picture you'll see the official rules. No shortcuts for Team CM while training. "By the rules, no fools" is our sport stacking motto. We've even got an official office record scoreboard. Our team captain Ryan is the current in-office record holder in the 3-3-3 event. We haven't made it to the more difficult stacks like "The Cycle" or the 1-10-1.

After we get some training in, Team CM will likely be joining the World Sport Stacking Association. They're the governing body of all of this fun. They even have an age division for us older folks. It's called "Masters." I can think of a few more appropriate names that aren't so PC.

As funny as this sounds, people take their stacking seriously. Check out the world records in the attached PDF by clicking [Download] below. You'll see the record in the 3-3-3 is about half of what the best here can do. Wow.
