context_page_description: Sport stacking, also known as cup stacking or speed stacking, is an individual and team sport that involves stacking 9 or 12 specially designed cups in pre-determined sequences as fast as possible. The cups are specially designed to allow for speedier times. Participants of sport stacking stack cups in specific sequences, by aligning the inside left lateral adjunct of each cup with that of the next. Sequences are usually pyramids of 3, 6, or 10 cups. Players compete against the clock or another player.
  The governing body setting the rule is the World Sport Stacking Association.
context_section_description: Official sport stacking cups are specially designed to prevent sticking and to allow the competitor to go faster.  The cups are reinforced with several ribs on the inside which separate the cups when they are nestled.  The exterior is slightly textured to allow better grip.  The insides are very smooth and slide past each other easily.  The tops of the cups have 1-4 holes to allow ventilation so the cups do not stick. One special line of cups has cups without tops to further decrease air resistance.
  StackMat timers are used for official tournament timing, as well as casual play timing or practice timing.
  Special weighted training cups, called "Super Stacks," are made from metal and are most commonly used directly before competing. The added weight is intended to make the regular cups feel lighter.
  Jumbo Stacks are a bigger version of the original speed stacks cups. They are used more commonly in P.E. classes rather than at home.
