Our eight (8) week leagues will be running on Sundays starting at 1pm and 6pm, Tuesday nights starting at 7pm, and Wednesday nights starting at 7pm - all with practice one hour before.

  • Wednesday Night Premier League will be offered again this season, returning after a season off. Please register early and encourage former members to return so we can confirm these leagues as soon as possible!

  • 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 initially offering only one Sunday night league again this season. All Sunday night league members should register for Sunday Night Green League.

We are excited to offer TWO five (5) week recreational leagues again this season! We've staggered each recreational league at the beginning and end of the league season so players interested in both have only 2 weeks of overlap:

  • Big Axe League picks back up on Thursday, October 24th 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 was a huge success this season, and we're bringing it back on Tuesday, October 8th at 7pm, with practice available at 6pm. Skills League will provide players practice, instruction, and competition in multiple Skills throws 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

    • Random Doubles

    • Ambidextrous

    • Open Clutch

      • A match style where Clutch can be called on all 5 throws of the round!

  • 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 7 weeks, you will play 4 matches each week against other league members to determine who will make the

 

playoffs in week 8. Each match consists of three rounds of 5 throws (so 15 axes total per match). During week 8, 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.
