First Up - The Black Stacks might not be a familiar name yet, but they are one of New Zealand's national teams.
They represent us in sport stacking, which is a fast-paced cup stacking competition.
There are 12 specially designed cups that have to be stacked into pyramids using difference sequences - patterns that make up the different competition events.
This weekend the the New Zealand sport stacking open championships took place in Wellington - and a potential New Zealand record was set.
Nathan Carter, 18, told First Up he has to wait for official confirmation from the United States to find out if he's a new record holder.
"I, at this tournament, broke the overall national record for what's known as the three-six-three event."
"I was very close to also breaking the national cycle record."
He said he got into stacking nearly a decade ago in primary school, and the sport really clicked for him.
"And [I] just started practising ... I've improved over this time, and here we are."
Carter said he hoped to be selected for the national team to represent New Zealand in the world championships in Singapore in 2020. But before that there are tournaments in Auckland and Whanganui this year.
