season three updates

  • Season 3 will be six (6) weeks long instead of our traditional eight (8) week season. This change was made to squeeze in one more season before Urban Axes Austin closes at the end of May. Each league member will have 20 regular season matches distributed over 5 weeks of regular season play, followed by Playoffs in Week 6.

  • Wednesday Night Blue League will remain open registration, inviting league members of all Skill levels to participate. We may expand to two leagues if the league surpasses 32 registrations as it did this season, in which case participants would be split by average into two Skill divisions. This makes the league a great choice for beginner to intermediate level players, so if you're a newcomer, sign-up for Wednesday Night Blue League!

  • Premier Rules have recently been updated to award 5 pts for each touch Clutch in addition to 7 pts for Premier Clutches. This change has increased players' average scores and provided a better balance of challenge & fun for Premier Rules, and current Premier League members can attest it's a huge improvement! Come try this new ruleset out for yourself!

We are excited to offer TWO five (5) week recreational leagues again this season!

  • Big Axe League picks back up on Thursday, April 24th at 7pm, with practice available at 6pm. This league is the best way to improve your Big Axe skills and crush your tie breakers!

  • Skills League continues on Tuesday, April 15th at 7pm, with practice available at 6pm. Skills League will provide players practice, instruction, and competition in multiple Skills games over the course of the season, with each week of the regular season focused on a different throw. We will poll the throwers registered the week prior to the season to determine the Skills we will play! Potential Skills include:

    • 1.5 Rotation

    • Ambidextrous

    • Sticker Fight

    • Underhand

    • Open Clutch

    • Random Doubles

    • Big Axe Blackjack

  • Each week will feature practice, round robin matches, and a single-elimination tournament, all played with the Skill of the Week.

  • Week 5 will be a double-elimination Playoffs with matches that combine all 4 of the weekly Skills introduced throughout the season.

Skills League will be played and scored using the Urban Axes scoring app, so no IATF League Fee is required! Come try something new and fun while honing your Skill throws before the next tournament Skills events or Urban Legends!

How it works

Axe throwing is an individual sport played in a group setting. Therefore, forming teams is not necessary. If you had a team in mind, you, your friends and/or colleagues should each sign up individually to take part in the league on the same night of the week. You'll all get to throw together but also with and against other league members.

Over the first 5 weeks, you will play 4 matches each week against other league members to determine who will make the

 

playoffs in week 6. Each match consists of three rounds of 5 throws (so 15 axes total per match). During week 6, the top 16 competitors will compete in a double-elimination tournament to determine the league winner. League members have the opportunity to qualify for the International Axe Throwing Championship each year.

As founding members of the International Axe Throwing Federation, our leagues are built around the rules defined by IATF. You can find details of the IATF rules here.

What else should I know

Urban Axes has IATF-compliant axes for sale as low as $25 each plus tax. You can use one of general pool of axes but isn't it much more fun to have your own axe? You're in an axe throwing league! We have sourced what we consider to be the best throwing axes available that are used across Canada where the sport originated.

If you want to bring your own axe, it must meet IATF specifications.
