Fastest Stapling

• Athletes will be timed in stapling two reams worth of paper in groups of 14 sheets of paper using a standard-issued stapler
• The paper must be hand-counted and stapled using a non-automated stapler by individual
• This is not a team-event. There will be age classes in this event, and medals will be awarded by age class:
  
  
  • Women & Men, Ages 15-30
  • Women & Men, Ages 30-45
  • Women & Men, Ages 45-60

Weight Stapling

• In this event, athletes will compete to see how can staple the thickest packet of paper using a standard-issued stapler
• Should the staple not protrude through the back of the last sheet of paper, the athlete will be disqualified
• This is certainly a risky event, as there are no second chances
• One staple--that's all each athlete gets. For this event, there are weight brackets by gender:
  
  
  • 39 to 42 kg (86 to 92 lb)
  • 46 kg (101 lb)
  • 50 kg (110 lb)
  • 54 kg (119 lb)
