The estimated Economic Impact on the Eau Claire Area from this event is $121,500.
Games will begin at 9:00AM on Saturday with round robin matches and the play-offs round will start at 1:00PM.

The yard game Kubb was born in Sweden and is played throughout Europe. Played primarily in the Nordic countries, Kubb can now be found around the world with tournaments in Europe and in the U.S.A. The two goals of Wisconsin Kubb are to unite and foster better and more meaningful relationships in our communities, and spread Nordic culture.
