YAY!!! for the Mercer Island (Washington) school district.
Tag resumes. Kids can continue to be kids.

By that time, competitive cup stacking could very well become an Olympic event:

The way things are going, in 20 years or so all forms of competition will be illegal. After all, we're all winners!
