Season 2 of our 2025 leagues is kicking off soon! Use this opportunity to reserve your spot in the next season of leagues by signing up below! Our six (6) week leagues will be running on Sundays starting at 6pm, Tuesday nights starting at 7pm, and Wednesday nights starting at 7pm - all with practice one hour before.

Seasons 2 & 3 will be six (6) weeks long instead of our traditional eight (8) week season. This change was made to allow for two more league seasons and utilize all the time remaining before Urban Axes Austin closes at the end of May. Each league member will have 20 regular season matches distributed over 5 weeks of regular season play, followed by Playoffs in Week 6.
Urban Axes Austin will host its final major tournament, Urban City Limits, April 4th-6th. As such, Sunday Night Green League will have a 5-week season (4 weeks of matches + Playoffs) to avoid conflicting with the tournament and allow all throwers and coaches to participate if they choose. Sunday Green playoffs will take place on Sunday, March 30th. All 20 matches will still be provided and will be redistributed over 4 weeks of regular season play.
Both Wednesday Night Blue League and Wednesday Night Premier League will be offered again this season. We've added an average cap to Wednesday Blue, meaning players must have a 12-month IATF Standard average below 70 to join the league. Wednesday Premier will remain open registration, allowing players of any average to join. This change is based on feedback from our league member survey and ensures we can offer different levels of competition on Wednesday nights for players of all skill levels and interests.
- To check your 12-month average, visit your axescores.com player profile and find the "Player Performance" widget; you can then select the "IATF Standard" ruleset from the drop down and filter for "Last 12 Months" to view your 12-month IATF Standard average.
Premier Rules have recently been updated to award 5 pts for each touch Clutch in addition to 7 pts for Premier Clutches. This change has increased players' average scores and provided a better balance of challenge & fun for Premier Rules, and current Premier League members can attest it's a huge improvement! Come try this new ruleset out for yourself!

We are excited to offer TWO five (5) week recreational leagues again this season!

Big Axe League picks back up on Thursday, March 13th at 7pm, with practice available at 6pm. This league is the best way to improve your Big Axe skills and crush your tie breakers!
Skills League continues on Tuesday, March 4th at 7pm, with practice available at 6pm. Skills League will provide players practice, instruction, and competition in multiple Skills games over the course of the season, with each week of the regular season focused on a different throw. This season's weeks will be:
- 1.5 Rotation
- Sticker Fight
  - We're bringing this fan favorite! Place your stickers with your team and race to cut all of your opponents' stickers before they cut all of yours.
- Underhand
- LEAGUE CHOICE!
  - We'll choose as a league the game played in Week 4. This could be a game featured in past Skills League seasons or a brand new game that fits the league structure!
Each week will feature practice, round robin matches, and a single-elimination tournament, all played with the Skill of the Week.
Week 5 will be a double-elimination Playoffs with matches that combine all 4 of the weekly Skills introduced throughout the season.

Skills League will be played and scored using the Urban Axes scoring app, so no IATF League Fee is required! Come try something new and fun while honing your Skill throws before the next tournament Skills events or Urban Legends!

How it works

Axe throwing is an individual sport played in a group setting. Therefore, forming teams is not necessary. If you had a team in mind, you, your friends and/or colleagues should each sign up individually to take part in the league on the same night of the week. You'll all get to throw together but also with and against other league members.

Over the first 5 weeks, you will play 4 matches each week against other league members to determine who will make the

playoffs in week 6. Each match consists of three rounds of 5 throws (so 15 axes total per match). During week 6, the top 16 competitors will compete in a double-elimination tournament to determine the league winner. League members have the opportunity to qualify for the International Axe Throwing Championship each year.

As founding members of the International Axe Throwing Federation, our leagues are built around the rules defined by IATF. You can find details of the IATF rules here.

What else should I know

Urban Axes has IATF-compliant axes for sale as low as $25 each plus tax. You can use one of general pool of axes but isn't it much more fun to have your own axe? You're in an axe throwing league! We have sourced what we consider to be the best throwing axes available that are used across Canada where the sport originated.

If you want to bring your own axe, it must meet IATF specifications.
