World Server Throwing Championship (WSTC) 2025

Bare Metal vs. Raw Power
APPLY FOR YOUR SPOT!

For more than 10 years, servers have been thrown in data-center basements, organized by the Dutch Cloud Community. Nobody has been allowed to talk about it—until now. The World Server Throwing Association (WSTA) brings this intense underground sport, which has been criticized as “needlessly brutal to servers”, into the mainstream for the whole Cloud community to enjoy. Now we’ll find out who’s strong, mean, and keeping their datacenter clean!

How It Works

March 18: Preliminaries
Server-throwing athletes in Men’s and Women’s divisions will show their raw power in front of a live audience of CloudFest attendees. This intense sport welcomes all genders and ability levels: the only requirement is your desire to throw a server really %&#*ing far.

Each thrower has two attempts, and the furthest result is recorded. The top three finishers in each division will advance to the Grand Final on the following day. 

March 19: Grand Final
This is it! The winners from yesterday’s preliminaries will face off against the winners of the Spanish and Dutch Qualifiers—as well as last year’s champions. (Sure, Bartosz “The Beast” Wojciak and Dierk “The Machine” Zienicke sound like tough guys, but anything can happen in this sport!)

Men’s and Women’s champions will wear the coveted WSTC Belt and raise their gloved fists in triumph as the crowd goes absolutely nuts!

Who Can Compete:
All registered CloudFest attendees are invited to apply for one of the limited number of spots. Then it’s time to put on the gloves, take a deep breath, and throw your way into legend!

The crowd will love you.
Servers will hate you.
The IT world will give you the respect you deserve as a WSTA server-throwing athlete!

The Ancient Roots of Server-Throwing History

Did you know that ‘discus’ was the classical Greek word for ‘server’? We bet you didn’t! Now you can take part in a ritual show of strength that has actually been around for thousands of years, evolving over the generations to become the intense, kinetic spectacle you’ll see at CloudFest.
