Event details

Friday, 4/4: Keep axes Weird

• Keep Axes Weird will be a Friday night Skills event featuring a variety of fun axe-throwing Skills games. The Skills events that will make up Keep Axes Weird will be announced at a later date before their tickets go on sale, but expect to try some new and unusual events as part of our contribution to keeping Austin weird!

Saturday, 4/5: Tiered Swiss Tournaments

• For Saturday's Tiered Swiss Tournaments, players will register for a single event and will be split into different tournament tiers based on their IATF or equivalent WATL average. This method helps ensure most players will compete against throwers of a similar skill level, making this the perfect first tournament for new throwers!

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

• The number of tournament tiers and their rulesets will be determined by registration numbers, with at least two tournament tiers anticipated.

Sunday, 4/6: Urban City Limits

• Sunday's Urban City Limits will be a random-seeded, double elimination tournament played under IATF Premier rules. This event is open registration and welcomes throwers of all ability levels!
