History in the making! The first-ever Victoria Finska Open has officially arrived. Get ready for a massive day of tactical wood-chucking, epic trick shots, and good vibes at the scenic Mount Martha Bowls & Petanque Club.

Proudly powered by the legends at Planet Finska!

THE COMPETITION

This is your shot at ultimate glory: being crowned the inaugural Victoria Finska Champion. Whether you’re a seasoned lawn pro or just the undefeated king or queen of your own backyard, the battle lines are drawn.

The tournament is open to absolute beginners and seasoned pros alike, across all ages.

Grab a partner, lock in your team of two, and get ready to roll.

The Battle Plan: Up to 64 duos will clash in an epic pool stage, ensuring everyone gets plenty of game time against different teams.
The High Stakes: The top-tier teams will advance to the knockout playoffs to fight for the official Victoria Championship Trophy.
The Redemption Arc: Didn't top your pool? Don't stress. The remaining teams will head into our equally fierce B-Tournament to compete for the highly honourable ‘Plate’ trophy.
No Experience Needed: New to the game? Finska takes two minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. Newbies are incredibly welcome, and surprise victories are practically a tradition.

With a strict 64-team limit, spots will vanish fast.

It’s strictly first-in, best-dressed!

THE VIBE & SPORTSMANSHIP

We are here for maximum fun, big cheers, and friendly banter.
