Talk:Jugger

Misc. comments[edit]

Regarding revisions by 207.157.121.52: I'm unsure why external links, references and further reading links have been removed from this article. Without exception they represent useful rescources for people interested in researching the subject matter further. It would be worth noting that the articles covering major sports such as american football contain lengthy sections linking to league websites, books and magazine articles on the subject. Perhaps you could similarly suggest that they "save if for their myspace pages," or perhaps make the useful observation that they are, infact, "fansites." By this I can only assume you mean it is written by fans of the game, hardly surprising as it seems a little unlikely that they would be written by someone with no interest in the subject. I'm also unclear as to how a sport played by hundreds of people in eight countries is "unnotable." Perhaps you could expand upon this? At any rate I will not be reverting the article until next week to leave time for discussion.

As for the book mentioned: It is the translation of a factbook that had been published at a regular publishing house (Verlag an der Ruhr) in Germany in 2006. It might be helpful to know that it is now available for free download as a PDF file (see link after the book reference), and reports on current international developments will be added continuously. So the link might be interesting to add? ----85.179.5.150 (talk) 10:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to the movie was not inmediately clear, but that could have been hurried reading. Is it however an idea to expand the article on this aspect? A clear reference and also a description of the way the sport evolved would be worthwhile.

The suggested deletion of this article is unfounded. The sport may not be widely know however it is operated as a sport in Germany, America and Australia with the German league having an especially strong following. To confirm the information presented in the article simply read any of the external sites linked from this article or the link to the German jugger article within Wikipedia.

As stated within the article the sport of jugger is based on that displayed within the movie but with adjustments made for the safety of players.

All information in the article is readily verifiable from the multiple years of games displayed on jugger.org.au for the Australian league and the extensive information in the sites for the German league.

Is it "quik" or "qwik"? I fixed up the other errors but didn't know which way to go on this one. - Friendless 12.2.142.7 23:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Qwik is the version used in the movie and the one adopted by the Juggers here in Australia, I remember speaking to some german players that were not fond of the name for that position but I am not sure what word they use. Some of the older documentation of jugger in Australia used the correct english spelling but we have since opted for the spelling 'qwik'--jugger

Never saw it written out in the movie, so why is it called "qwik" and not "quick"? In the German discussion boards "quick" or just "Läufer" (runner) are used most of the time.

It helps to watch the movie to the very end. This includes the credits.

I will have to check the source but in the region 4 release of the movie it is written as 'qwik' in either the openening text or on the cover. I'll check this and post the information here. -- jugger

The correct spelling is "qwik". You can see this at the end of the film in the credits, and the screenwriter&director writes it that way, too. In Germany, we usually use the term "Läufer" (German for "runner"), that is true. As for the scull, we have one side calling it "Schädel" and another calling it "Jugg". By the way, Jugger has evolved in Germany and the USA independently, so I changed the first sentence accordingly. -- EinUhu

Updated German team sites. Should be complete now except for one team in Oldesloe and the link to the factbook (since in German language). -- EinUhu

Australian jugger information[edit]

I updated the Australian rules section today with the latest rules and included a hit location diagram and jugger field diagram. However after editing i found some of my work repeats info about weapons in the equipment section. oops. In general this page needs a cohesive layout and clean up.

Can the americans please put your rules in the USA section and not litter up the Australia section. Kommando (talk) 12:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Adding references would address the notability tag. RJFJR 17:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amtgard Variation[edit]

I was just going over the page for Blood of Heroes & saw that Jugger has become a recognized sport in Europe. I also wanted to let you know that a LARP called Amtgard has used "Jugging" a slight variation of Jugger as it's extra sport. I'm providing the link from the AmtWiki in regards to this in case you would find it as an interest to post on the Jugger page.

International version?[edit]

The article mentions that an "international version" is played in some countries, but there's no explanation of what that version is. I couldn't find any other mention of an international version online, except in http://www.juggerireland.com/what-is-jugger/ which has almost exactly the same text as in this article (and I don't know which came first).

Some follow the International version (IE: Germany, Ireland etc.) and Spain a far as I know. So yes that are the international Rules described first in the article. --109.45.1.201 (talk) 01:35, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
