Thrötoberfest

Join us for Urban Axes Boston's 3rd annual tournament!

Urban Axes Boston is thrilled to host our new tournament Thrötoberfest September 26-28! This event is a reimagining of our former Red, White & Bullseyes tournament under a new name, date, and corresponding Oktoberfest theme. Thrötoberfest event will feature many of the same events from last year, including two tournaments: one on Saturday and another on Sunday. So don your dirndls or lederhosen and come throw with us in the City of Champions!

Thrötoberfest will be a three-day event; we'll kick off the weekend on Friday night, September 26th, with a Skills competition featuring an Oktoberfest theme.  On Saturday, September 27th, we will host an Over/Under Swiss Tournament, and the event will culminate on Sunday, September 28th with our open double-elimination Premier Thrötoberfest tournament. Throwers of all ability levels are encouraged to participate, and we're very excited to see you at Urban Axes Boston this fall! 

Tickets for the Over/Under Swiss Tournament and Thrötoberfest double elimination Premier tournament will go on sale Tuesday, July 29th at 6 PM EDT. Tickets for other events, including Friday night Skills events, will go on sale at a later date.

Ticket Information

Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, July 29th at 6 PM EDT for two events:

• Saturday, September 27th: Over/Under Swiss Tournament

  • A tournament comprised of a Swiss + Single Elimination bracket in which players are split into two tournament tiers based on their IATF or equivalent WATL average. This method ensures most players will compete against throwers of a similar skill level, making this tournament ideal for beginner and intermediate level throwers.

  • Each tournament tier will compete in seperate Swiss + Single Elimination brackets, in which each player will be guaranteed a minimum number of matches before any elimination occurs. No more 0-2!

  • Each Swiss tournament will be run under the following rulesets:

    • Over Tier - Premier Rules

    • Under Tier - Urban Rules

  • Urban Rules is a combination of the IATF Premier and Standard rulesets introduced by Urban Axes at our first major tournament at Urban Axes Boston. It is intended to be accessible to throwers of all ability levels while remaining challenging, strategic, & fun. Click here to view the current ruleset and learn more about Urban Rules.

• Sunday, September 28th: Thrötoberfest

  • The main event of our tournament weekend! Thrötoberfest will be an open double elimination, Premier Rules tournament featuring a randomly-seeded, 64-person bracket.

Tickets for our Friday Night Skills events will go on sale at a later date! RSVP to our Facebook event to be notified when they go on sale!
