Slumberjack Skills Series: IATC Tune-Up

come prep for iatc at slumberjack Skills!

The 2025 International Axe Throwing Championship is just around the corner, and Urban Axes Boston is hosting the next installment of the Slumberjack Skills Series on Thursday, March 27th at 7pm, with practice available at 6pm. Brian has planned an exciting IATC Tune-Up event, designed to help you sharpen your skills through a mix of classic Premier play and a brand new Doubles format. Participants can choose to compete in two tournaments:

• Double Elimination Premier Tournament: The tried and true IATC format!

• Random Re-Draw Doubles Tournament: Each round, players will be paired with a new partner from the pool of competitors at the same stage of the tournament.

  • The doubles tourney will be seeded using the traditional Slumberjack Skills seeding, in which each player can choose to throw standard hatchet, 1.5 rotation, or underhand.

Players will purchase a ticket to compete in one of the two tourneys and will indicate their selection in the "Tournament Choice" field when booking. Throwers may compete in both tourneys but must purchase a separate ticket for each tournament to do so. More of Brian's awesome Slumberjack Skills merch will be on hand as well (with possibly some raffles in store!)

So come compete, hone your technique, and have a great time with fellow throwers at Slumberjack Skills Series IATC Tune-Up!

update

Due to current registration numbers, the Random Re-Draw Doubles Tournment will no longer be possible, but the Double Elimination Premier Tournament will be played as scheduled and registration is still available below!

Slumberjack Skills Series Championship

Throwers have the opportunity to earn Slumberjack Skills Series Champion Points while participating in each event, . These points will be awarded based on a variety of factors including attendance and placement in SSS events. Click here to view the SSS Champs Points criteria. The general format for each event will be a double elimination, randomly seeded tournament, and the points earned in each event will accumulate towards an end-of-season championship.

Each player must pay a one-time buy-in fee of $25 to be considered for the Slumberjack Skills Series Championship. This buy-in is not included in the venue's registration fee for each event and is paid directly to Slumberjack. Throwers may buy in at any point during the season but can only accumulate SSS Champ Points after they have paid their buy-in fee. However, a buy-in is not required to participate in any event, so thowers who are not interested in competing for the championship may play without buying in.

All money paid into the prize pool will go towards prizes or used in support of these events. The Slumberjack Skills Series champion will win a custom axe at minimum, with more prizes possible depending on participation. Slumberjack will collect entries leading up to the event and at any point throughout the year should you decide to compete. Contact Brian for more information.
