Scoring[edit]
Scoring is a match system where ten knives are thrown per match. The player with the highest points of their ten thrown knives wins the match. In case of a tie a "Sudden Death" throw is made for the highest score. Sudden death throws are done until one thrower scores higher than the other. Scoring is determined by where you strike your knife into the target. The WKTL targets have three red bullseye rings, followed by four empty rings. The scoring is 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point respectively. Additionally, there are blue dots in the 1 point ring, known as "Kill-shot," and be called in a match twice for 8 points. Point designation is based on the highest point value the knife touches when it lands and sticks.
