• Place one´s trust – from experience it is needed to trust your opponent and vice versa. Without watching the moves from your opponent, you can enjoy the game and ensure that you will not be cheated.
• If you share a picture from your field and your team, you will see with whom you share this experience.
• Otherwise, everything will be the same, since we play with the official EKA rules.

• You are responsible for setting up your own Kubb pitch
• Please log-in to the Discord channel in time, so the organization team can check that all teams are present.
• Immediately after announcing the matches, you meet your opponent in a dedicated discord channel for your “pitch”
• Before you start, check if your opponent is ready and you can start the game immediately.

• You announce the beginning and your team partner will do the king toss.
• Take a picture from your result or measure the distance between the baton and the king. Send this to your opponent.
• Both teams can now judge, who made the better throw and can choose, who will start with 2-4-6.

• THROWING – after a quick discussion on who will start, you announce the beginning of throwing two batons. After throwing you text your opponent the result as fast as possible, by typing e.g. “+0” (if hit one Kubb: +1, two Kubbs: +2 …)
  >>> WAITING: now you have to wait for the result of your opponent (e.g. “0+3”)
• INKASTING – you take the amount of Kubbs, which you opponent announced (“3”) and inkast them into the field. There are two rounds of inkasting. If there is still a Kubb not in the field after the second round, it is a penalty Kubb.
  Hint: you can start inkasting while your opponent is still playing their round – this will considerably speed up the match
• SET UP – try to use your opponents perspective to set up the Kubbs by choosing always the difficult way of hitting them. Ask your opponent where to place penalty Kubbs. Common options include: 1 baton length behind the king, 7m distance into the field, or on the base line.
• THROWING – you will start by throwing at the field Kubbs and afterwards at the base Kubbs, as usual. Text your opponent your result, e.g. you hit the 3 field Kubbs and 2 additional base Kubbs = “3+2”; Please follow this notation to ensure a transparent and simple overview about the results and of how much your opponent has to inkast in the following round.
  >>> WAITING: Now you have to wait again, until your opponent inkasted the 5 Kubbs and maybe an answer follows like “5+1”. Your opponent hit the 5 field Kubbs and an additional base Kubb.
• INKASTING & SET UP – Respect! 6 Kubbs for you to inkast. Please be fair and set up the Kubbs, that it gets as difficult as possible for you. Also, try to stick to the rules by the EKC and judge penalty kubbs fairly, your opponent will do so too!
• THROWING – Don’t cheat yourself and don’t make use of any “bad throwing behaviour”, like a helicopter. Maybe you have missed some Kubbs, measure the distance and text your opponent e.g. “4 … 2 left with 1.5 batons distance from mid-line”
  >>> WAITING: Be patient and you will see, a response will come quicker as you thought or collected your batons.
• Maybe your opponent will text: “king down”. Nice move! Thanks for the game! The first set is over. If there is still time, you can start a second set, but please stay in time!

After the time limit, please report your results. The teams will be able to report the results themselves through a personalized page for each team. The winner shall report the result after each round.
