#WATL AXE THROWING LEAGUE FORMAT.

The WATL Big Axe League is a competition where competitors must throw their Big Axe, starting behind the 17ft line, but not ever crossing the 15ft mark. For the purposes of Big Axe throwing in the WATL, a Big Axe is considered to be any axe longer than 23 inches and heavier than three pounds. Big Axe games are half the length of a standard WATL hatchet game, consisting of only five throws and scores are uploaded in the WATL app against other throwers around the world. Because of this, accuracy and Kill Shots become even more important. Misses will add up quickly with less time to make up for poor throws. The excitement from Big Axe competition comes from the variance created by throwing a larger and heavier axe. This makes the axe harder to control and as such can lead to more room for error. Despite this added difficulty it is still rare for top level competitors to throw outside of the 4 ring.
