### Miscellaneous awards

Fortuna frequently participates in tournaments. By doing this, the club won several awards. Here a short overview

#### Haagse Korfbaldagen (12 time champion)

This tournament held in The Hague has been around since 1985 and features clubs from The Hague area. This tournament is held before the Korfbal League season starts. Fortuna won this tournament in 1990, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010 en 2011. However, after 2011 Fortuna decided no longer to participate in this tournament any more, due to the busy preparation schedule in September/October.

#### Korfbal Challenge (3 time champion)

The Korfbal Challenge is an international tournament which is being held in Rotterdam between Christmas and New Years Day. Only 2 Korfbal League clubs are granted access to this tournament; only the 2 finalists of the Korfbal League Finals from that year. Besides that, this tournament features teams from other countries, such as Belgium, Taiwan, Spain or Czech Republic.
The Korfbal Challenge is besides being a high class tournament also a moment where the KNKV tries out possible new rules of the game. Some experiments are being rejected quickly, but also some experiments are turned into new international rules. This way, the game tries to keep up and lift dynamics or speed of the game.
Fortuna has won this tournament 3 times, in 2003, 2004 and 2012.
