This years edition of the Twin Mountain Tournament is set to take place over the weekend of August 30th-31st. It will be located at WF-Sundsvall on Nybrogatan 30 in Sundsvall. Due to the nature of the venue, we will be able to provide attending coaches with a bar serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as candy and sandwiches, for the duration of the tournament. Due to this it is also imperative that you register in advance, as we cannot let unregistered people into the venue.

Last day for registering is the 17th of August.
The cost for the tournament is 150kr if paid in advance and 200 kr if paid on site. (200 and 250 respectively for non-NAF members but this includes a NAF membership, if you want it.)

If you want to visit and just be a spectator there is no entrance fee, but you must still register, due to the serving of alcohol. Just send your name and age to the email above.

Tournament Rules

As this tournament is quite close to the EuroBowl Open, we have decided that it would be a good thing to use the same rules as the EuroBowl, to allow coaches to test out their roster for the big event. Also, those dudes do have some slick ideas, so why not take advantage of that. Credit for these rules goes to Florent Maire(Babass), Bram Serbruyns(gesmachiene) and Mats Clays(Da Great MC)
