Team:The "Swede" Team

The 4th Annual 2013 Des Moines Kubb Fall Tournament is the only tournament in the midwest that uses a unique system to pair like-ranked teams up against each other.

This guarantees that you will be playing a team similar in skill to yours. You will also never play the same team twice, which ensures not only are you fighting for your life all day, you are meeting new teams, and forging new friendships, rivalries, and battle scars! So mark your calendar and play in what some are calling “The Meatgrinder” tournament. Come to Des Moines prepared to play the best games of kubb of your life.....all day. But don't take it from us......

"It's the most legit tournament out there. You want to BE the best? You've got to BEAT the best. You want my pitch? Come take it!" - Nate Olsen, Team Wolfpack, Minnesota

"We had to dig extremely deep to fight for the win, perhaps as deep as we have ever had to go...the day seems like a complete blur and felt like a kubb meat-grinder." - Eric Anderson, Sweden's Sons, Wisconsin

"From a player that had only played in one tournament, and my partner who had only played twice in his life...we loved the format and got hot (and lucky) at the right time to bring home the silver." - JP Larson, Kingpin, Minnesota

"We exceeded our own expectations for the tournament and couldn't have had a better group (of teams) in the final 8 to play! They were competitive and yet encouraging, which is hard to find in most sports today."

"(The) tournament style and attitude towards newcomers is a great model for us, as well as other clubs to follow."

"It's wonderful that the kubb community can come together to help a great charity and still have a lot of fun in the process."
