Tournament schedule 2023
We have decide to make some adjustments in the tournament schedule for 2023. We believe that those adjustments will make the tournament even more attractive for all participators, both in 1vs1 and 6vs6. Down below you can see our adjustments for 2023:
1vs1
- The qualification round in the 1vs1 tournament will be played on an own day on Thursday, which is the new inauguration day of the WC. This means that the World Championship will be played in tree days instead of two. The 1vs1 qualification will be played in a Swiss-System, which results in at least 8 games for each player. More information regarding the Swiss-system and how to play it you can find under “Competition info 1vs1”.
- The knock out round in 1vs1 will be played on Friday afternoon from 14:00 in a traditional knock out system with the top 32 players qualified from the Swiss-System on Thursday. You can find more information regarding the knock out stage for 1vs1 under “Competition info 1vs1”.
6vs6
- The winner of the “Little World Championship” on Friday will win a spot to the Saturday group stage and still get the chance to win the World Championship title.
- From now we have a time limit in the Saturday group stage matches, which is 75 minutes. The teams are responsible to follow the time limit. If the time limit expires you have to start a Tie Break. You can find more information regarding the Tie Break and how to play it under “Competition info 6vs6”.

Kubb World Championship Committee
Kubb is a very old game. “Throwing logs” is quite popular in Sweden now, particularly on the island Gotland. Kubb is a “partygame” which is played outdoors with 2-12 participants. Everyone can participate, young as old.
The game is played on a field which is 5×8 meters, the size can be less or more depending on the skills of the players. The field should be fairly smooth and flat, usually we play on grass but gravel, sand or snow could also do.
The game pieces are made of pine and one set consists of the following parts:
- 1 KING approx. 9×9 cm square and 30 cm´s height.
- 10 KUBBS approx. 7×7 cm square and 15 cm´s height.
- 6 THROWING BATONS, round 44 mm in diameter and 30 cm´s in length.
- 4 CORNER STICKS and 2 MIDDLE STICKS 2x2x30 cm are also useful to have.
The players are divided in two teams and take place behind their respectably baseline. The game’s aime is to knock down the kubbs of the other team with the throwing batons according to the rules. When all the kubbs are knocked down, the king should be knocked down, the team which does this has won.
Since 1995 “VM i Kubb” (“World championship of Kubb”) is arranged on Rone IP (Gotland), 2004 there was 168 teams (of 6 members) in the competition from 8 different nations, playing mixed men, women and children.
1: King, 2: Kubbs, 3: Throwing batons, 4: Corner stick, 5: Baseline
