the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships! Since 2000, the town of
Savonlinna in the southeast of Finland has been the host of this
technologically brutish event, with other countries in Europe hosting their own
national competitions as the years came and went by.

sports event, phone throwing is governed by specialized rules. The organizer
provides official WC mobile phones that are used in Mobile Phone Throwing World
Championships. There are all kinds of brands and models to choose from. Every
contestant can choose the best fitting phone for him/her. During the throw the
competitor must stay within the throwing area. If the thrower steps over the
area, the throw will be disqualified. The phone must land within the marked
throwing sector. The official jury of the competition will accept or disqualify
the throw. The jury’s decisions cannot be protested. Period.

device for consumers in the world.
