The Australian Axe Throwing League[1] Tournament is an Australian created Urban Axe Throwing Competition for Aussies!
The Australian Axe Throwing League (AATL)[2] was created to give Australian Axe Throwers their very own tournament style whilst growing the sport of urban axe throwing[3] in Australia.
AATL[4] was founded in 2021 in Queensland Australia with the intent on organising local and Australian wide Tournaments.
With the sport of axe throwing[5] growing impressively in Australia, The AATL[6] is intent on bridging the gap between venues and codes and creating competitive encounters for everyone.
Rules[edit]
The Australian Axe Throwing League[1] rules are different to any other Axe Throwing League[7] rules across the world.
Whilst other league’s main goal is to gain the highest score possible in the allocated throws[3], The AATL’s[1] goal is the gain the lowest score possible, and includes negatives.
AATL[1] targets are made from pine wood [8]as softer woods like cottonwood[9] and poplar[10] are not easily accessible in Australia. AATL[1] targets have 5 main zones a group of bonus throw options allocated on the boards.
A match under AATL[1] rules consists of 12 throws per person, with the possibility of gaining a 13th bonus throw attempt. Scoring runs from the inside of the board rings and begins at 1 for a bullseye. 6th and 12th throws are mandatory Diamond Doubletap attempts which offer the advantage of negative points to bring your overall score down. If the thrower is successful in their 12th Diamond Doubletap attempt, they unlock the 13th “Hero Shot” which is worth -13 points and becomes a game changer for the whole match.
There is only 1 axe size currently being used in AATL[1][11], however the introduction of “Big Axe” leagues may be added later. Currently a small 600–800-gram hatchet/[12]axe[13] with wooden handles are used.
History[edit]
Axe Throwing [3]can be located all the way to the Vikings[14], and then prominently alongside timber sports[15] worldwide, but it was the creation of the Backyard Axe Throwing League in 2006 that really bought the sport to the forefront and into a light of its own. There is currently hundreds of venues across Canada and the United States, Europe, Thailand and now Australia.
Most venues have multiple lanes, plenty of comfy seating and places to keep score, plus a barrage of beverages and snacks. Sessions usually last between 1-2 hours.
The popularity of Axe Throwing Venues[3] across Australia is rapidly growing in Australia with brands such as Maniax Australia Wide , Lumberpunks Australia Wide, Axxe Canberra, 13 Axes Axe Throwing Australia, in Brisbane & Sunny’s Axe Throwing in Moffatt Beach all helping to grow the sport Australia[16] wide. All these venues run leagues and competitions and also provide A1 facilities for people to come and let off some steam and have some plain old-fashioned fun.
Cautions[edit]
Obviously, the sport of axe throwing involves the use of a potentially dangerous weapon if used incorrectly. Australian venues take the safety of their patrons and guests very seriously and the standards of Safety Briefing and Coaching that is involved with every single person that enters a venue is of the highest possible level.
Axe Throwing as a sport can be very safe if the participants follow the safety briefing they have been given and remain aware that they are handling an axe that has sharp edges, and dealing with splintered wood. If you follow the coaching you have been given, the potential for accidents is very low and the sport is remarkably safe and fun!
