Worldkorfball.org new release

Tuesday 7 or Wednesday 8 January 2014 the IKF will launch the completely redesigned version of worldkorfball.org

This on line software system serves the IKF jury in major IKF Events. The jury keeps control of the matches with the support of the software and the connected database. They register players, referees, coaches, scorers, substitutions, reversible substitutions, yellow and red cards; all match related actions. Second goal of the on line system is to give korfball spectators from all over the world the opportunity to follow the game as well behind their Pc, laptop, tablet and/or smartphone. There is an Android app as well.

The redesigned system follows the changed IKF rules – including the reversible substitutions, integrates with news form the IKF website and integrates with the ikfchannel on YouTube.

The 48th IKF Europa Cup in Papendrecht (NED) will be the first IKF event with the redesigned jurysoftware.

The first version of the software was released just before the IKF World Korfball Championship in 2007 in Brno (CZE).

German championship has new victor!

On Sunday, 6 April 2013 the Club SG Pegasus Rommerscheid from the city of Bergisch Gladbach took over the crown from last year’s Champion Schweriner KC in the German korfball Championship.

An extra match became necessary after ending the regular competition on equal points and the final result went in the favour of Pegasus.

Two of the hardest working club teams stood in the final and  both teams deserve the right to represent Germany in the upcoming international competitions for clubs in Europe.

In the last match points were equal in the first half, before a 15-minute period where no goals were scored until Pegasus broke away to show supremacy and led to the 24-18 victory for the Rhineland area.

SG Pegasus Rommerscheid will proudly represent Germany in 2014 in Papendrecht (NED) at the IKF Europa Cup, Schweriner KC will fight for medals at the IKF Europa Shield tournament.
