FORMAT

• All league games are scored based on individual performance.  Teams are not necessary.
• Leagues run for 8 consecutive weeks, the same night and time each week.
• Minimum number of players for league is 6, with a maximum of 60.
• League players may bring their own axes, but they must be weighed & measured before each league night to ensure that they meet the standards of the World Axe Throwing League (WATL)
• The first 30 minutes of each league night is set aside for a practice session and sign in. Each person gets ten practice throws and then is cycled to the back of the line. Players do not have to participate in practice.
• Each match consists of 10 throws total. Contestants switch targets after 6 throws.  New kill shot rules are in place.
• Every league week, each contestant plays 4 matches. All four matches will equal to 40 throws per week.
• In each season there are 7 weeks of regular matches, with the 7th week being mandatory, and finishing with a tournament in the 8th week.
• If more than TWO weeks are missed, the players are not eligible for the playoffs. The 1-2 missed weeks’ throws can be made up through week 7.
• ALL league players will make the playoffs in Week 8 as long as attendance requirements are met.
• Week 8 is a playoff to determine the champion in a double elimination bracket.
• Double elimination means that each person has to lose twice.  After losing the first game, players drop into the Underdog Bracket for final placement.
• Additionally, the winner of the Underdog Bracket goes to the final round with the winner of the Winner’s Bracket.

The overall winner will be crowned Champion and receive the league trophy!
