Welcome to spectate the Most Anticipated sports event of the year with Matrix's cheerful team, World Championships of Academic Kyykkä at Tampere on Saturday 8th of February! 

Kyykkä is a traditional team sport originating from Karelia. The basic idea of the game is to knock kyykkäs (small wooden cylinders) out of your own playing square by throwing a karttu (a club/bat, resembling a baseball bat) at them. Every February more than 5000 students gather to Hervanta, Tampere to play this game and to figure out who is the World Champion of this noble game. More info on the organizers' website: kyykka.fi

Even though multiple attempts, Matrix wasn't able to get tickets for the general series this year. Regardless, Matrix is heading to the cradle of finnish student culture, Hervanta, Tampere to cheer on the best teams. Get ready for a great adventure to the winter wonderland of Hervanta and the Luuppi after sauna at Pii-klubi. 

The trains and possible accomodations will be planned among the participants soon.
