The world record attempt is organised by the events committee of RSKV Erasmus. The student association teams will play against each other in an eight versus eight match, with five substitutes per team. To ensure there are enough players available for the record attempt, the teams will also be mixed with players from the korfball teams of Delft, Leidschendam, and Tilburg.<\/p>\n

The current record, set by a British korfball team, is 30 hours and 2 minutes. Why is RSKV aiming for 38 hours? To make it \u2018symbolic\u2019 for the 38th board of the association.<\/p>\n\n\t
