Found this at the Biddanda Cup Hockey Festival 2005page.
Here us a brief hisrory of the Kodava Family games: The Kodava Hockey Festival, involving only Kodava families, is listed in the Limca Book of World Records as the largest family sports tournament in the world. Every year, the tournament takes on a different name and is held in a different town, based on the family that is organizing it. The tournaments are held under the aegis of the Kodava Hockey Academy.
This family tournament dates back to 1997 when Pandanda Kuttappa and his brother thought of having a common platform where all the Kodavas could come together and play the game they love most. The tournament has grown rapidly in size from its early beginning.
