STACK ATTACK on Veterans Day

Join us for STACK ATTACK, a pre-championships practice day for avid stackers getting ready for the 2008 Oregon State Sport Stacking Championships. Here are the details.

Date: November 11, 2008 (Veterans Day)
Time: 9:30 am -3:30 pm
Location: Village Baptist Church, 330 SW Murray Blvd., Beaverton, OR 97005

Bring a Brown Bag for lunch. There is a $10 fee for the day's events.

We will have prizes for the fastest individual, doubles, and team. We will also have a drawing for door prizes.

Help us set a new record

One of the things we do in sport stacking is set records. And while that's not always easy, and it seems that most of the records are getting harder and harder to beat, there is one record that everyone can be a part of. And that's the STACK UP! event to establish a new World Record for Most Number of People Stacking in Multiple Locations in One Day.

That's a big mouthful, but the requirements are pretty simple. Simply engage in stacking activity for at least 30 minutes on Thursday, November 13, have an adult verify your involvement and then report back your involvement to the World Sport Stacking Association. You can do this as an individual, a whole family, a class at school, an after-school club, or an entire school.

As of this moment, 24 Oregon schools and churches have signed up to hold STACK UP! events. The total number of projected participants is over 172,000 and climbing. If you haven't signed up yet, go to the WSSA website and sign up now.

What do you need to do be counted as part of STACK UP!?

Option 1.
1. Sign up at the WSSA website.
2. Engage in stacking activity for 30 minutes or more on Nov. 13 (Thursday).
3. Verify the results.

Option 2.
Join us at Village Baptist Church's Fellowship Hall (Room 112-113) anytime from 3:30-6:30 pm. We will be stacking as individuals, doubles, and teams. If you plan to be part of the Oregon State Sport Stacking Championship, this will be a great chance to practice with others.

Let me know if you need more information. This is one record in stacking we can all be a part of.

Download Registration Forms

We finally have the registration forms available for download at the Village website. You can download forms here.

In a few more days we'll get the forms up on the WSSA website as well.

Remember, you can pay the registration fee online at Active.com, but you will still need to mail in or fax the registration forms.

Registration Forms Are Ready

Actually, the registration forms have been ready for over a week now. But I'm still waiting for them to be posted on the Village website. We had a recent change in staff responsibilities and the person now responsible for posting them up is still working on it.

If you want to go ahead and see the forms, send me an email at my vbconline.org address and I'll send it to you as an attachment. The zip file is 3MB in size. You can also request them in individual pdf files.

We have also made it possible for you to pay by credit card online at Active.com. There is a processing fee for credit card transactions.

If you're a member of Village Baptist, we will also be making it possible for you to pay by credit or debit at the Village website. I'll let you know when that's ready.
