  • Planet Kubb Forum: Making a Kubb Set May 25, 2013 1:21 am
    So, I swung by the hardware store tonight to scope out wood for a new set. My Brio set is getting a bit worn and the batons are pretty nasty now. So, they only have 1 1/4" diameter dowel which i a bit too small...any thoughts on what I can do with this? Just go with smaller dowel?? […]

    Het eerste grote kubb tornooi van het jaar voor alle west-vlaamse kubb ploegen is natuurlijk het West-vlaams kampioenschap. De zon was al van 's ochtends vroeg paraat en enkel een strakke wind kon nog roet in het eten gooien. Met 7 personen trokken we om 8u30 vanuit Nieuwenhove naar het Wevelgem waar de grasmat ons al aan het opwachten was.   De hoofden […]

    This discussion is an extension of the Ask.PlanetKubb.com question posed by Albert62, Is there any advantage for a team starting the game?. The general consensus seems to be that the opening team does have some benefit. What is the benefit? and How much of a benefit is it? […]

  • Commented: Any tips for drilling on a hard dry pitch? May 22, 2013 2:41 pm
    This is exactly what I'd recommend - "Slap & Slide." Still give it some spin to stabilize it in flight, but rather than throwing it nose-down and trying to dig a corner the goal is to land flat on one face about half a meter shy of the group and slide gently into it. This is Grant Scott's go-to throw and he is able to use it to great […]
  • Commented: How many field kubbs can be hit in one shot? May 22, 2013 12:10 pm
    I can speak to the US National Rules that a punishment must be at least 1 baton length from the marking pins and the king. There may be other rulesets that disallow placing a punishment on the baseline. […]

  • Answered: Which is best place to place a penalty kubb? May 18, 2013 5:08 pm
    high level rule of thumb I like: place the penalty kubb far enough away from all other kubbs so it requires at least 1 baton just for itself. For example - 1 meter in from the opposite back corner of all the field kubbs, or on 1m from the bakc on teh sideline. Beyond that I agree with Dobbie - you should have a sense of the team's 'blind spots […]

  • Answer edited: Who is the player eligible for final toss at the king? May 18, 2013 12:19 pm
    I've played Kubb with people who keep a very strict order to who can throw when, but the rules you'd play with in the largest tournaments don't force you to keep track of that. If a player on the team has batons to throw, they can throw them. Some teams will strategize around this and have certain players who "specialize" in King sho […]
