[edit] Why

Why does 59.137.203.173 keep editing out the Singapore sport stacking site? Wikipedia should be inclusive and informative for everyone. I'm confused as to why they don't want this source listed. 161.181.53.10 16:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Missing image

What happened to the image Image:Speed-Stacking-Becher.jpg for this article? — Loadmaster 18:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't know but it's still here on the German Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Speed-Stacking-Becher.jpg wr 87.139.81.19 11:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1 - 10 - 1 section?

Seeing the cycle stack uses and/or references a 1 - 10 - 1 stack, shouldn't a description of it appear with the 3 - 3 - 3, 3 - 6 - 3, and 6 - 6 descriptions? Recon0. (talk) 18:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flashcups and Crazycups

These are competitors for Speed stacks, and some would call them counterfeit, but there are competitions that utilize them. They aren't allowed by the WSSA, but in Germany and Singapore (there respective countries) they are very popular. They should be included on this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.238.70.139 (talk) 04:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

FlashCups are not popular in Germany. They just have a few emloyees doing massive cross marketing in discussion boards. Links to FlashCups and CrazyCups are purely commercial. 80.142.243.125 07:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you working for speed stacks? I know a lot of people from Germany who stack, and nearly all of them have FlashCups. The world record was set with Flash Cups. I'm trying to maintain a thorough and unbiased article here, and you're trying to censor what you call "product pirates" who are merely competitors. I use Speed Stacks. I'm in no way biased against Speed Stacks. I just want the whole story told, here. PLEASE tell me why you are so biased. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.238.64.2 (talk) 04:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

I do not work for FlashCups or SpeedStacks or any other brand. Please visit the homepage of the German Championships. http://www.sst-butzbach.de and check the scores. Out of the Top50 just about 10 people are using FlashCups - all the other use SpeedStacks. SpeedStacks made the sport popular in the USA, in Germany and around the world. SpeedStacks hold many events in Germany in 2004 and 2005. When they became successfull, FlashCups was found to make money. The only purpose of FLashCups and the ISSF is making money. SpeedStacks also wants to make money, sure: it is company. But they also promote the sport, do school workshops for free, support events etc. 80.142.239.249 16:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Also note the German team in Denver 2007! 42 people from Germany flew in to Denver to take part in the World Championships. 38 of them using SpeedStacks, 4 using FlashCups. The German Team won 38 disciplines - just two of them for FlashCups stackers. The Germans hold all Overall World Records. How many of them are held by FC? None! 80.142.239.249 16:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ISSF

Could anyone add anything about the ISSF? I would like to know more about them.

Dear Macgator, this is completly the same with Flashcups and the ISSF. See www.issf.info The first sentence on the page is "The ISSF was founded by the company FlashCups." See the imprint of the page, it says: "ISSF - International Sport Stacking Federation, Fa. FlashCups GmbH, Gewerbepark Krablerstr.127, Bürogebäude 63, 45326 Essen" i.e.:ISSF = Flashcups. The WSSA has several people working for them, who are not involved with SpeedStacks at all. The ISSF has no people working for the, because the ISSF team is exactly the FlashCups team. 80.142.239.249 15:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

All I ask is that people be aware that there are other quality choices in cups out there other than Speedstacks. There are also good people running some of Speedstacks competitors companies. They want to see the sport grow. I firmly believe that until the WSSA allows all cups that fit into certain size parameters into its competitions , the organization should be viewed as a promotional tool for Speedstacks. Until the WSSA allows and acknowledges other companies and thier opinions in shaping the future of the sport, it is a farceMacgator 00:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
