The Maryland Kubb Championship will take place on Saturday, June 7, 2025 at Hopkins Farm Brewery in Havre de Grace, MD. Registration begins at 7:00 AM and play starts at 9:00 AM.
We will be using the U.S. National Kubb Championship® Rules V3.2b. with the exception of three rules:
- Minimum 2 players, no player may throw more than 3 batons per round
- The "Neighbor Rule" which can be found in the Kubb United Rules for Open Play
- Once all field Kubbs are raised the offensive team may choose to remove the center pin while throwing batons. NOTE: All pins must be replaced after the turn is over.
There will be 7 qualifying rounds of single games each having a 25 minute time limit using the "Klassic Format". After that the top 16 teams will be seeded in the championship bracket, with the 8 teams who fail to advance in the first round of the Championship Bracket competing in the Silver Bracket. The next 16 teams (17-32) will be seeded in the Bronze bracket. All teams that enter are guaranteed to play 8 games.
The tournament will be played with Country Kubb kubb sets.
