Games

Click here for the Game Rules. They also contain information about gender ratios. 

Scorekeepers

Our scorekeepers are not timekeepers or referees, timekeeping will be done centrally and the start/end of matches is indicated by a jingle broadcasted on the speakers 

A document with tournament rules can be found with the scorekeeper or in the app.

The Windmill App (schedule, first aid and more).

You can find the schedule for the weekend on the website and in the app. You can download the app here:

In the app you can also request first aid to a field, check rankings, find the event map and fill in spirit scores or talk to Herbie. 

The first round will be published before Thursday.

Spirit scores (app)

To fill in the scores the captain or spirit captain has to log in to the app. So make sure your (spirit) captain has a working app. If you have an issue regarding spirit and the app please go to the front-desk. You can only see the received score once both teams have filled in the scores.

Please fill in your spirit scores before you pick up your food tickets, we only hand them out once all spirit scores are filled in. 

Food and drinks

Everything is vegetarian! There will also be a stall for vegan options, as well as gluten free. Every morning during breakfast you can make sandwiches for lunch. (There is no separate lunch provided). Tickets for dinner can be collected at the front desk after all spirit scores are filled in for that day. Because the last mixed round ends late, mixed teams can collect their food tickets for Friday before their last game if at least three spirit scores are filled in. 

At Windmill we want to limit the amount of single use plastic. That is why we want to ask you to bring your own plate and cutlery.
Every player gets one token exchangeable for a cup, can, or bottle. When returning the cup, can or bottle you get the token back. If you lose your token you will have to buy a new one for 50 cents. Tokens and or cups are not refundable for money.

Camping

We are on the terrain behind the sportspark! Keep in mind that this is not the same camping as last year! Follow the signs from Iggy square towards the campsite. Cross the “Gateway to the Galaxy” bridge on the left side of park below field 11 (see the map in the app) or here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GU1DWCmksEvmwZkz7. From there turn left and head on straight, then take the first path to the right towards the entrance of the camping: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aoZ3JbmHXmZL9WPX7.

We don’t have infinite space at the camping so please listen to the instructions of our volunteers when setting up your tents.The camping is only meant for sleeping, all Windmill activities will be at the fields! All tents need to be gone before 6pm on Sunday.

!!Glassware is not allowed at the camping, if we see you carrying glass around the camping we can and will remove you from the camping!! If you have any trash, get rid of it in the bins and trash bags located on the campsite or bring it to Iggy square and dispose of it there. Leave the campsite as clean as you found it. 

Charging devices

You can charge your electronics at the charging station at the front desk. Please bring a working charger (so not just usb cable). Hand in your electronics with a host and collect your ticket. Make sure to keep the ticket safe, you need to hand it in at the front desk to get your stuff back.
