We can finally release the date of the most northern international jugger tournament yet, it will be set at (drumroll) the weekend of 9-10th of July.

Our aim is to have a fun and friendly tournament with teams from all over the world. Leading up to the tournament we will host some activities so we can all get to know each other even better. More information on them will be posted in the upcoming newsletters. So make sure to sign up.

We want as many nations to be represented as possible, therefore the first unique nations that sign up will have priority. Apart from that Swedish teams will be prioritized and can sign up a week before everyone else, as we want them to meet all of you wonderful juggers.

The pompfencheck will start at 18.00, you can add pompfens up until 20.00. The check will continue until every pompfen (delivered in time) is checked. After that you’ll have a chance to recheck pompfens early Saturday, before the information.
During the evening we will host an open mic by the stage. Studiefrämjandet will set up some nice music-thingys and some instruments to borrow. So if you want to play us a new tune you’ve been working on, splice out some fancy new poems, card tricks or epic jugger tales: the stage is yours!

~~~~ Location ~~~~
As with every Swedish tournament, we like to show you our most beautiful pearls. The tournament site is located in Flurkmark, right outside of Umeå.

A small community sports center surrounded by the forest. There is a grass pitch, which we will have 3 jugger fields on and there’s a gravel pitch where you can place your tents and camping gear. At the site there is a sauna, multiple indoor showers, barbecue, indoor dance floor and an indoor stage. Tents make up the lodging and it is up to everyone participating to make sure that they have a big enough space in a tent for sleeping.

Plus-code: X6M9+52 Flurkmark
If you want to take a look at the place through pictures, discuss camping, pre-tournament activities, transportation or anything relating to the event. Do so on our facebook event.

~~~~ Tournament Fee ~~~~
The fee for the tournament will be announced in the upcoming newsletter along with the payment information. So pay attention to them! Note that if your fee is not paid on the last pay date, your spot will go to the team next in line on the waiting list.

~~~~ Accommodation ~~~~
During the tournament days (8-10th) you will be able to camp at the tournament grounds. The gravel pitch is the designated spot for tents and other camping-gear. Try to not spread out over the whole pitch as we will have to restore it for regular matchplay after our visit. Make sure to follow the rules and regulations that we put up, so we may come back to the same spot next year. Make sure to use the designated bins for trash, and try to implement the “leave no trace” rule.

For the international long haul juggers looking for housing before the tournament please get in contact with our local club and we'll try and get you a place to stay. You can use the contact form at https://www.umeaosport.se/. Please state where you’re from, how long you plan to stay and where we can get in touch with you.

~~~~ Food and water ~~~~
As a must on every tournament, there will be a BBQ on both days of the tournament.
There are numerous shops and shopping centers within a 15 min driving distance of the tournament grounds. Make sure that you have plenty of food and water, one extra bottle is preferable since it will be in the middle of our summer, and you will all need the energy. Empty bottles work just fine as well since tap water is drinkable.

~~~~ Activities and places ~~~~
In newsletter 3 we sent out a bunch of information about activities that will be held during the week. But other than that, we’ve put together a small map with pins of activities and places of interest that you might want to easily access while you are here. You can find the map here:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer...

~~~~ Rules ~~~~
The tournament will be played according to the Swedish jugger rules put in effect by Sjufo (The Swedish Jugger Association).
You can find the rules here:
English ~ https://jugger.se/wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/Jugger_Swedish_rule_book-version_2_1.pdf
Swedish ~ https://jugger.se/wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/Jugger_Svenska_regelverket-version_2_1.pdf

~~~~ Judge/referee ~~~~
The tournament matches are judged by representatives from teams that are not active in play. Therefore we expect every team to contribute with at least two-three possible judges. These judges are expected to be well versed in the rules and also speak English fluently as this is an international tournament.

~~~~ Pompfens ~~~~
The pompfencheck will be held on Friday evening at the tournament grounds. Note that every player is responsible for their own gear and that it is according to the Swedish ruleset. Make sure that your pompfens are in good condition and according to our rules before traveling, so you don't need to repair or rebuild anything major on the night before the tournament. If you have any questions about our rules or standard pomfpencheck procedures in Sweden, you can contact the Swedish Jugger Association at info@jugger.se.
As we will probably have teams coming in with airplanes, every extra pompfen is welcome. So if you have extra pomfens that you are willing to share with others and the possibility to bring them please do.

Newsletter 4

Hello all of you wonderful juggers! We serve you a new newsletter with mixed feelings. This letter is very important for all of you to read.

Due to complications in the communication with the locals at Hissjö, we have decided to move the location of our tournament. Fortunately we could get a place that is even closer to Umeå City and that has everything we need. The cons are: car rides to both shops and bathing-space, the pros are: an even bigger (electric) sauna, real grass for the pitches, many indoor showers and an indoor music scene!

This newsletter will cover all of the new location information and the tournament schedule. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email or visit the facebook event and ping us there.

~~~~ Rules ~~~~

The tournament is in Sweden and with that comes our rules. Note that whome-ever are playing, you play by our rules and must accept them. A healthy discussion is always welcome, but these are the rules we will play by. So make sure that everyone in your team is accustomed to them, as they will be playing and refereeing by them through the whole tournament.

If the link is broken, visit jugger.se and look for the “knowledge bank”, you will find our rules there.


~~~~ Q&A ~~~~

We have already been asked questions about our pompfen specific rules among other things. So we will make a small Q&A here too, so that information doesn't get lost in the way. The keywords for our checks will always be “safety first”.

Q: Is it enough to touch the grip for a hit?
A: No. You have to encircle the grip for it to count as a hit. (see section 3.2.2 Grip zone)

Q: Does the grip need to be padded?
A: The gripzone needs to be covered; rope, tape or padding is enough, as long as the core is not exposed. (see section 3.2.2 Grip zone)

Q: Are the building rules to be strictly followed or more like guidelines on how to build?
A: We expect that all the measurements are followed as our rulebook specifies. Building styles and techniques can of course vary, but the general measurements and sizes should be according to our rules.

Q: Does the mattress tip have to be 10 cm or is 6 cm fine?
A: There's no way for us to check the exact measurement of a tip and therefore we have to assume you've built it with 10 cm. But as long as it's safe, compresses and the core cannot be felt, it should be fine. Although you should use 10 cm to be guaranteed for it to pass the check. (see 3.2.1.1 Tip)

Q: Is the cuff on the tip a must or is sailing tape enough a substitute?
A: The tip must have a cuff. Tape or cloth only is not enough of a stabilizer for the tip to be approved in our check. (see 3.2.1.1 Tip)

Q: Do I need to have a tip on my staff?
A: Yes. Pompfen with a core must have a padded tip. Staffs only require a 5 cm mattress (and a cuff) though. (see 3.2.1.1 Tip)

Q: Is the "German style" staff (parrying surface) build okay?
A: No. Our rules require 2 grips separated by a padded parrying area. The parrying area needs to be 30-50 cm in length and have a diameter of 6-8 cm. The grips can be a maximum of 20 cm each. (see 3.2.5 Staff)


~~~~ Questions? ~~~~

If you have any questions about the tournament, or anything relating to it, that you want to direct to the organizing team, feel free to send an email to rickhard.nilsen@gmail.com or info@jugger.se and we will try to answer them as soon as possible.
