This weekend is a great weekend for Alternate Sports. As you know, I've been a big fan of these Alternate Sports, including the Rock Paper Scissors Championship, Spelling Bee, and the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Well, tomorrow is the 2007 World Sport Stacking Championship! It'll be on ESPN in HD tomorrow (8/17) at 10:00am. Set your Tivos! If you have no clue what Sport Stacking is, I don't blame you. It's a competition where you stack cups in different formations, trying to make the fastest time. It's fantastic! The great news is that this year, a new world record for the Cycle Stack was set by David Wolf. Here is his remarkable feat via YouTube.
And so you understand what the different cup formations are, here is a rundown from Wikipedia. (LINK)
Also, the 2007 National School Scrabble Championship will be on ESPN in HD this Saturday (8/18) at 12:00pm. It's a competition between 101 teams of middle school-aged students in 2-man teams. Check it out!
And when this weekend ends, we can look forward to the U.S. Open of Dominoes later this month and the Krystal Square Off Hamburger Eating Championship this October!
