We're hosting two tournaments, one on Saturday and one on Sunday! So don your red, white, and blue, and celebrate Independence Day with us in the City of Champions!

Participants in the Over/Under Swiss tournament will be split into two fields based on their 12-month IATF average (Standard or Premier +15%, whichever is higher) or equivalent WATL average. Players will then compete within their separate fields, and both an Over and an Under Swiss tournament champion will be crowned.
For those unfamiliar with Urban Rules, Urban Axes introduced our new ruleset at last year's Red, White, & Bullseyes tournament. This ruleset is a combination of the IATF Premier and Standard rulesets and is intended to be accessible to throwers of all ability levels while remaining challenging, strategic, & fun. We've hosted many Urban Rules events over the past year and have received a lot positive feedback while making updates & improvements to the ruleset. You can visit our blog to find the current ruleset and learn more about Urban Rules.
We ran a Facebook poll to determine the rulesets for the Over and Under tournament fields. Each Swiss tournament will be run under the following rulesets:
Thank you to everyone that voted in our poll! We value your input as we strive to offer tournaments that match the interests of the throwers participating.
