Have 12 students work at each table in the set up for a HTH Relay.
To start, two teams will be racing and the other 4 will be the judges.
As they teams learn this event, the judging team will rotate in to race and teams that are racing will rotate out to judge.
Explain that in HTH Relays, teams race each other. At sanctioned competitions, they earn “penalty points” for any infraction. The team with the fewest points wins each race.
In Stacking League matches, any penalty point is a scratch. If only one team scratches, the other team wins. If both teams scratch, the race is re-run.
Have students practice the event first with penalty points and then after without penalty points.
Teams can practice racing using the 3-6-3 or Cycle (depending on the experience level of the stackers) in the two different formats and getting opportunities to judge and race.
Independent Practice (10 minutes)
Have stackers go to their own mat and timer and practice whichever stacks they want to practice.
The coach circulates around giving feedback to stackers until the end of practice.
