Australian Finska Championship 2022

IT'S BACK BABY
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. The Southern hemisphere's ultimate wood chucking showdown. Oceania's most elite log lobbing event. Australia's most prestigious timber tossing tournament. This is the Australian Finska Championship 2022, hosted at The Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.

THE COMPETITION
This is your chance to be crowned the Australian Finska Champion of 2022, and to reap all of the benefits, respect and glory of becoming a wood chucking champ. 150 teams of two will face off in a competitive joust for fame and fortune, and each team will be provided with an AFC 2022 throwing log (valued at $20) that they will get to keep as a memento. For those in the know, Finska is the seriously addictive outdoor log throwing game with its ancient origins in Finland. The beauty of Finska, is that it requires no prior experience to play, is incredibly easy to learn, and yet is still a hoot for all players of all ages - from young children to nan and pop. So! This is a family friendly event and all ages are welcome to participate but there must be two players in each team. The tournament will consist of two competitive stages, the pool stage and the knockout stage. During the pool stage teams will face off against every other team in your allocated pool. At the end of the pool stage, the more successful teams will proceed to the knockout stage and playoff for the Australian Championship trophy. The other teams will also get to play on and compete for the Championship Medallion. The tournament structure is designed so that all teams irrespective of skill level get to enjoy a full day of competitive Finska fun. Even if you have never played before, Finska is easy to learn and those new to wood-chucking are welcome to compete.
