Austin Farewell Weekend

Urban Axes Leagues are run on the values of Inclusivity, Equality, Respect, Diversity and Fair Play. To read more about our League Values, please click here

come say a fond farewell to urban Axes austin!

Urban Axes Austin's final weekend of business is Memorial Day weekend, and we're hosting TWO marathon leagues AND a Closing Party for our league members. Spend the day at Urban Austin one last time and celebrate a great venue with an even better community!

Saturday, 5/24 will feature a Big Axe Marathon League and Sunday, 5/25 will feature a Standard Marathon League, followed by our Closing Party at 6 PM. The Closing Party is open to everyone regardless of marathon league participation (plus ones included!), and we encourage everyone to bring a dish for a potluck to end all potlucks! The party will feature karaoke, games, prizes, a crawfish boil, and more, and we hope to get as many league members together as possible for an epic send-off.

All league members are welcome to come by, hang out, & spectate during the marathon leagues, even if they aren't throwing! Sunday's marathon league will end right before the Closing Party, so we encourage everyone to stick around and join the party following the playoff finals. We hope to see you there!

UPDATE

• Submit your photos for our Closing Party Slideshow!

  • We're creating a slideshow of photos from Urban Axes leagues and events over the years to be shown at the closing party, and we'd love for everyone to contribute photos! You can upload your photos to the album at https://albums.memento.com/urbanaxesaustin/ or you can email photos to urbanaxesaustin@submit.memento.com and they'll be automatically uploaded. The slideshow will be on display at the party this Sunday!

  • Thank you to everyone who contributes for helping showcase the people and memories that have made Urban Axes Austin so special!

• We're considering offering both Standard AND Premier Rules marathon leagues on Sunday, 5/25. Click here to visit our Facebook event and respond to the poll!

  • We've reached 24 throwers for Sunday's Standard Rules Marathon League, and some throwers have asked about playing Premier Rules as well. We now have enough throwers for potentially two marathon leagues, we want to gauge interest in offering both rulesets!

  • Please respond to the poll in our Facebook event if you're already registered or plan to register for Sunday's marathon league. A potential Premier Rules marathon league would NOT replace the Standard League already scheduled. Rather, it would run simultaneously alongside the Standard marathon league and players would choose to participate in one league or the other. You can also express if you'd like to register for both and we may allow it if possible in this instance.

  • Thanks for your input, and we'll decide how to proceed based on the results of the poll!

Event Details

• Saturday, 5/24

  • Big Axe Marathon League, 11:00am-7:00pm

    • Each player will throw 16 Big Axe matches followed by a double-elimination playoff! We need a minimum of 12 members to run the league but will accomodate as many as possible, and everyone will make the playoffs (even if we have more than 16 throwers!)

    • Matches will be scored under the IATF Standard Ruleset, with Urban Austin's signature 1.5 Rotation tiebreakers.

• Sunday, 5/25

  • Standard Rules Marathon League, 10:00am-6:00pm

    • Each player will throw 20 matches followed by a double-elimination playoff! We need a minimum of 12 members to run the league but will accomodate as many as possible, and everyone will make the playoffs (even if we have more than 16 throwers!)

    • We'll be playing the classic Standard ruleset in the spirit of including as many Austin league members as possible. This league falls after Round 1 and will count towards throwers' IATC 2026 qualification!

  • Closing Party, 6:00pm-11:00pm

    • Come celebrate together one last time! We'll have all sorts of fun activities, including some of our Beerlympics and other axe throwing Skills games. We'll also have other party games set-up like Flip Cup, cornhole, Giant Jenga, and more. Oh, and did we mention KARAOKE?

    • There will be a crawfish boil and likely some grilling as well! Drinks will be BYOB as always, and please bring food to share for a classic league potluck!
