- A match is played over the best of three sets.

- To ensure that both teams get a turn, the King may only be attacked once both teams have had one round of throwing the throwing sticks. E.g. in the unlikely situation that in the first round Team A knocks over all of Team B's Base Kubbs with the first 5 Throwing Sticks, Team A must pass with the final Throwing Stick and not attack the King.

- A Throwing Stick may knock over more than one Kubb.

- Kubbs should always be thrown underarm and from behind the base line. As opposed to Throwing Sticks, Kubbs may be spun in any direction.

- When throwing, both feet should be between the Corner Markers

- A Kubb which has been knocked over and then subsequently rights itself is classed as having fallen. It is also classed as fallen if the Kubb ends up lying against another Kubb or against a Throwing Stick.

- Even though not part of the official World Championship Rules, it is common practice to play the "Tower" rule. This rule states that should the Kubbs strike each other when they have been thrown onto the opposing side of the pitch, they should be stacked on top of each other, in the form of a tower. There is no limit to the number of Kubbs that can be stacked in a tower (although putting more than three on top of each other can be quite a challenge). This only applies to Field Kubbs and not to Base Kubbs.
