Forged in the fires of Viking lore, reanimated in modern day Scandinavia, and imported to the quiet village of Ballard - Kubb is set to continue it's roaring American debut. In 2010, the amateur circuit sprang from humble grass-roots, and captured the imagination of everyone from young professionals to the occasional curious homeless Seattleite. This year Co-Commissioners 4 Life, Blake "The Closer" and Courtney "The Laser" have unveiled the newest semi-pro league in America, the Seattle Kubb League (SKL).

Shaking off the rust ...

It has begun! Kubb season is upon us! We had a beautiful day, which meant it was finally time to finally christened the backyard. Needless to say it was a monumental day!
L'Assassin and Señor Steuck:

The early season session also allowed a little bit of experimenting with the infallible SSBI. As of now the feeling is:

Outright victory = 3 pts
Victory when opponent misses the king = 2 pts
Loss by failing to hit the king = 1 pt
Loss = Minus a billion points

Scores will then be normalized by the number of matches.

So, for example, if we were keeping official tallies:

Match 1: 2 B - 1 K
Match 2: 3 B&C - 0 K&L
Match 3: 3 B&C - 0 K&L
Match 4: 1 B&C - 2 K&L

Matches Played:
BD 4
CO 3
KS 4
LP 3

SSBI:
CO 2.33
BD 2.25
KS 0.75
LP 0.67

If anybody has any suggestions on a more fair way to do it by all means let me know. Though I reserve the right to completely ignore it.
