Sport stacking world records explained

World records in sport stacking are maintained by the World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA). Sport stacking world records can be set at sanctioned WSSA events. The WSSA reviews video of potential world record attempts before certifying a time as a new world record.^[1]

In February 2021, WSSA introduced a new design for timers with thumb pads, and announced that all the previous records will be frozen and kept as "legacy records".
