German Jugger League re-formed


Logo der deutschen Jugger-Liga


Last saturday, Nine Cities (yes indeed) met to re-form the Jugger League statutes.

After a conference of 12 1/2 hours (with just a short break for lunch and three five-minute-breaks) and, as it is said, 90 votes, the League statutes have been written down.

The Jugger League council consists of representatives of the most experienced and committed Jugger cities and the Uhu as the neutral anchorman/moderator.
From this season onwards, a League tournament has to meet certain specifications; a League Jugger Team has to publish a pool of players, who may not play in other League teams; also, replacements from other teams are forbidden in League games (except if the 5th player is injured during a game). Also, a court of arbitration, consisting of three council members (members are changed for every case), can be applied to. And a new system how to issue League points has been set up.

We will see how it works, yet it sounds very promising. The council will meet again in fall 2010 and evaluate.

2nd German Open /13th Jugger Championships start Friday!

For your attention:

Because we expect about 40 teams, the 2nd German Open / 13th German Jugger Championships will start

Friday, Sept 10th 2010, 11 am
and last till
Sunday, Sept 12th 2010, 2 pm.


Otherwise it would be impossible to play all games. We hope there will be room for games by Jugger rules of other countries (like Australia) at Friday or Sunday.

So book your flights! Looking forward to see you!

12th German Championships in Berlin: 36 teams, great atmosphere

36 teams joined us at the 12th German Jugger Championships in Berlin. Even Ireland came to the tournament, Team Setanta.

Being the biggest Jugger event ever held in history, the teams were divided into eight groups with games on five separate pitches. The main pitch was equipped with galleries for numerous spectators, with Jugger League flags flapping in the wind. Weather on Saturday was perfect, sunny, but not too hot, whereas there was some moderate rain on Sunday (the Irish brought their weather with them, thanks) - no reason to stop playing.

When Grünanlagen Guerilla, Berlin, former Champion, challenged Rigor Mortis, also from Berlin, in the 300 stone finals, emotions rose high. A very energetic game was met by enthusiastic spectators with choruses and screams, a stunning atmosphere indeed. Finally, Rigor Mortis beat GAG and won the German Championships trophy back.

Some excellent pictures are shown at flickr. And here is a first glimpse at one of the other games held at the main pitch. More to come!

Register for the 2nd German Open 2010!

To make it easier to book flights in time, we already fixed the date for the 2nd German Open!
The international Berlin Jugger Championships will be held at September 11 to 12 in 2010.

We would be happy if you would register your team(s) who are about to attend the Championships, at the Tournament System. Don't forget to leave a valid email address, for you have to click on the activation email before the registration process is complete. Contact Ein Uhu if this does not work.

The Australians used the opportunity of the 1st German Open in 2008 to make a trip through Germany and Ireland and visit and play with the local teams of other towns. Feel free to follow their example - they were very enthusiastic about it.

Please contact Ein Uhu for co-ordination and details.


A little update:
Australia said they will come with one, but hope to join us with 2 or even 3 teams! The Irish will go for the skull with one or two teams. And Spain currently gathers a team as well.

German Championship, 2007, muti-camera takes

Local Berlin League

This spring, we start the local Berlin Jugger League. With the Berliner Juggerpokal, a tournament for local teams, being staged for the third time, we thought it might be the right time to have a local league as well. And it will be excellent training - for players as well as for referees.

Every week-end, a pair of teams takes part in a challenge. Each challenge consists of separate games.
Each game lasts until a team scores 7 points (no stone count limit).
The team winning 3 games has won the challenge.
The results uncover the further pairings.

Teams participating:
Skúll (TSV Rudow)
Lluchse (TSV Rudow)
Rigor Mortis (jugger e.V.)
BSR (jugger e.V.)
GAG (jugger e.V.)
Falco jugger (jugger e.V.)
...

The Falcones44, a project of the Albert-Schweitzer-School Neukölln (9th grade), will only participate in the Berliner Juggerpokal.

We also changed the rule for staying down for Berlin.
When hit, a player gets down on at least one knee, takes one hand from his Pompfe and starts counting with the hand behind his back. As soon as he has finished counting (5/8 stones) and lifts the knee from the ground, he is allowed to strike - since he first has to grab his pomfey, there is no need for the artificial "get-up-don't-hit-time" we had before.

Let's look how it works...

PS. Also the step-by-step pomfey making PDF (in German, but lots of pictures) has been updated.

Jugger in Spain

Happy new year for all!!

Ten months ago we heard about Jugger in a meeting in Spain. If you see youtube videos it’s not exactly Jugger, but it was enough for us to start searching about the game.

We found a Jugger German rules in the Spanish wikipedia, and we look for somebody who could translate it.

Two workmates (Frederike Hoff and Frederic Yvan Lapuente) help us with the translation. We didn’t get all the rules translated, but enough to start playing.

We had been playing combat with foam swords for some years, but only combat. First time we played Jugger it looked more hokey than jugger, but we like it very much.

We add Jugger to training sessions every Sunday we get enough people to play.

On November we organize a meeting to play softcombat (is how we call here the combat with foam swords), Mölkky, and things like this. For this meeting we make some Pompfes following german rules (until then we had played Jugger with our normal foam weapons) to show the people what was Jugger.


Then we started to speak to organize a Jugger Tournament, but we needed all the Jugger rules, so I contacted with Ruben and Lester (thank you very much for the help), who gave me all the information we needed to start playing.

We don’t have teams, we are only 15 friends who go park to play, but we are starting with official rules, we will organize a tournament when we have people enough, and I hope we will be in 2010 in Berlin for the II Open.

Now we have just open a forum (juggeforo.260mb.com) to contact with more people in Spain and to prepare jugger activities and we are working with Ruben to have an up-to-date rules in Spanish.

I hope you will hear more about us early.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year! Frohes Neues Jahr! ¡feliz año nuevo!

A good time of heavy Jugger to all, many tournaments and many delightful international fights! May the dog skull roll even further around the world this year.

In other news, a new German general Jugger forum has been started today. We worked hard to make it a long-lasting solution for all German Juggers - and of course, I saw to it that an international section has been included, where Juggers all around the world may chat and discuss. Have fun!

Here is the link: forum.jugger.org

Please always link to this adress, not the "real" adress the subdomain forwards you to (since you will have a broken link if the forum is moved).

Jugger training locations world map

As reported in Uhus finest - assorted Weblog Droppings, thanks to Adam from the Australian Redbacks there is a Google Map with the world-wide precise training locations (to be finished). So if you visit a country where Juggers are around, just have a look at the Google Map to see where a team does training.Contact Ein Uhu or Adam to add locations (ideally with the precise location). Green stands for precise locations, blue for cities, yellow for tournament grounds.
