Sport stacking (formerly known as cup stacking) is an individual and team activity played using plastic cups. It originated in the early 1980's at a southern California boys and girls' club and received national attention in 1990 on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The sport was invented by Wayne Godinet. He shortly thereafter formed a group called Cupstack. Later he worked together with the physical education teacher Bob Fox. He was the man who invented all the formations and gave the name to the cycle stack. Early competitions were held in 1998 in Oceanside, California and Denver, Colorado.
Participants of sport stacking upstack and downstack cups in pre-determined sequences, competing against the clock or another player. Sequences are usually pyramids of three, six, or ten cups. Proponents of the sport say participants learn teamwork, cooperation, ambidexterity, and hand-eye coordination.
Tournaments are governed by the World Sport Stacking Association. In 2004, the WSSA changed the activity's name from cup stacking to sport stacking in an attempt to give it "immediate identification as a competitive sport."
