USA Sport Stacking League Demo MatchAAU Junior Olympic Games Sport Stacking Championships

USA Sport Stacking is excited to offer a new school/recreational league format this coming season. Select stackers will compete in an exhibition match so everyone can learn about the format and enjoy some exciting competition. The demo matches will take place on the stage at 2:30 on Saturday, July 27. 

Teams will be formed using the top 16 male and top 16 female stackers based on the cycle times from the first round of prelims to create 8 highly competitive teams consisting of the top male and female stackers of the morning. Each team will consist of 4 male or 4 female stackers. Male and Female teams will compete in separate brackets. 

This demonstration will have 2 rounds of matches. For the first round, the teams will be randomly seeded.
