HOW IT WORKS
IATF leagues are made up of 7 weeks of competition followed by a final week of playoffs. Each player will play 28 games in the league to try and secure themselves a place in the playoffs and a chance to lift the trophy.
Standard/Women's and Premier leagues are for those aged 14+.
Junior leagues will be for those aged
11 - 16.
(Players must register in advance)
WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE?
Registration with any league comes with access to the IATF AxeScores App, which will allow you to track your scores, progress and position in the world standings.
Once you take part in any of our leagues, you will be first to hear about any future leagues or tournaments taking place and get first dibs on a place.
You will get time to throw and warm up prior to league for practice, as well as at least 4 games per week.
You will become part of an amazing community of likeminded people and have tonnes of fun!
WHO IS IT FOR?
We welcome everyone from all abilities/experience levels, we just ask that you have been to at least one axe throwing session, we can explain the IATF rules before you start but these are something you need to be aware of.
It is preferred that you bring your own axe (that must fit within the IATF specs) but if you don't have one, we can provide one to borrow for the duration of the league.
(We stock a wide range of competition throwing axes and when the time is right for you, we'll even help find the right axe for you... the wand chooses the wizard Harry!)
ATTENDANCE
Don't worry if you can't make every single week. You can have 2 authorised absences during the 7 week league. As long as we know in advance, we can re-schedule your games to another week.
This goes for late starts and early finishes too, if you need to arrive late or leave early, let us know and we can arrange your games to be earlier or later.
If you don't let us know, you will be marked as absent and your games will be forfeited (lost).
The only thing we can't reschedule is playoffs! If you want a place in playoffs you must be able to make the scheduled week 8 date.
