Welcome to the site of Showdown Netherlands

Dear showdown friend,

Welcome to the showdown site of Showdown Netherlands.

In 1981, a group of Canadians came to the Netherlands to introduce the showdown sport.
Very soon after, the first showdown clubs were founded and the first tournament took place in Dongen.
Nowadays, showdown is played in 16 cities spread over the country.

Nederlandse vlag

The national calendar contains many events such as clinics, tournaments and championships. Players are ranked according to their results achieved during the national competition and the national championships for a period of three years.
Of course all of this is not possible without the help of a team of well-skilled referees which are classified according to our license system.

The Technical Commission Showdown is responsible for the organization of the competition, the Dutch Championships and all related matters such as rules, referees, promotion, etc.

In 2009, the Dutch federation for disability sports has appointed a national coach who is responsible for the national selection.

The Netherlands counts many top players such as Sven van de Wege, Jack van Oosterhout and Ieke Wiersma.

This site contains general information about the sport, the list of showdown clubs, game results and a calendar of national and international tournaments.

If you would like to invite Dutch players then please contact the Technical Commitee by email.

The Technical Commission Showdown
