Overview
Tournaments can have as few as 8 competitors to hundreds of competitors and have a single age represented or stackers from the ages of 6 and under to 60+! Recreational (Non-Sanctioned) tournaments are very flexible and do not require specific events, age divisions or types of awards. It is important to note, however, that Divisional, State, National and World Records will only be recognized at WSSA Sanctioned Tournaments and cannot be established by stackers at a WSSA Non-Sanctioned event.
