Sport stacking may seem simple, but the rules can be complicated. First, there are three separate events, each with different goals. The first is the 3-3-3 event, where players rapidly stack three towers. Each tower is composed of three cups—two at the base and one on top. Next is the 3-6-3 competition, which includes a larger tower of six cups in the center and two smaller ones built with three cups on each side.
競技疊杯看似簡單，但規則卻相當複雜。首先，有三種不同的賽事，各自有不同的目標。第一項是 3-3-3，在此項目中，選手需要快速疊出三座塔。每座由三個杯子組成 —— 底部兩個和頂部一個。接著是 3-6-3 的比賽，其中間為一座由六個杯子組成的較大型的塔，兩側各為由三個杯子疊成的小型塔。
