ICE HIKE RANKING 2025, winners Rifugio (mini) Tournaments & RIFUGIO HALL OF FAME
Non-Dutchies are very welcome! There's always someone to explain the rules in English. So please feel free to join.
During an Ice Hike Tournament everyone will get the chance to play one game (+/- 60 min) and then the winners (and sometimes the runners up) of different tables will play a final. At the Rifugio Dutch National Championship at Spellenspektakel (9 nov 2025, Jaarbeurs Utrecht) everyone gets to play 2 qualifying games (+/-20 minutes/ game). And then the best 2, 4, or 8 (depending on the number of participants) play the finals. And this year there are also 5 Rifugio-minitournaments. 30th of april at Mox Spellen in Heerhugowaard (winner Jessica Hofman), 18th of may at Koning Willem in Deventer (winner Daniël van Klaveren) , 14th of june at Oosterspel in Nijmegen (winner Ward de Ridder), 25th of juli at Bumblebeez in Bergen op Zoom (winner Mark vd Broek) and 13th of september at The Joker in Utrecht. Here you'll play just one game against one other player. The name of the winner will go on a piece of paper in a jar. And at the end of the day one name will be picked from the jar and win the tournament. The winner will recieve an orange set to play with and a ticket for the sunday of the Spellenspektakel. Where you can then participate in The Dutch National Championship. And if you're thinking: I'm no way good enough to play a tournament.. Don't worry :-) Even if you've never played the game before, it's easy to learn and we love to explain. PARTICIPATION IS FREE, there are nice PRIZES to win.
Note: The Rifugio Dutch National Championship at Spellenspektakel in november is the only moment to get listed in the RIFUGIO HALL OF FAME. Cause only the winners of an official tournament and the top 3 of the Dutch National Championship get listed here.
