2019 TeamSPS Kubb Tournament

We had a great time with our 2019 #TeamSPS Kubb Tournament today! We had 20 teams having a lot of fun, getting to know their teammates better, and enjoying a gorgeous day outside!

Groups of people playing Kubb on a green urban lawn with wooden pins set up, deck chairs labeled Turf Club nearby, and city buildings in the background.

After the round robin our #TeamSPS Kubb groups split into brackets with a winner in each bracket! We kept track old school, just like most tournaments do!

Handwritten single-elimination tournament brackets on white paper spread across an outdoor folding table, labeled by division including Distinguished, Senior, Principal, Associate, and Staff.

After the 2019 #TeamSPS Kubb tournament a bunch of folks hung out and played, you guessed it, more Kubb! Next year we might introduce Mölkky at the end!

A friend of mine is selling his large Big Green Egg along with the Challenger Designs grill table. This is the same setup I have, and I love it. If you are interested in buying a great grill setup ping me and I can connect you to him. 🔥

The Shortcuts app on iOS should have a setting that causes shortcuts to error if you reference an unknown or undeclared variable. Would help reduce errors and could default to off for folks that do simpler things.
