Axe Throw

How many throws does each player get?

• Each player throws all 7 implements (3 silver axes, 2 black axes, and 2 knives) 3 times for a total of 21 throws each. 

• In consolations, players only throw twice for a total of 14 throws each

• Players can not cross the line in the grass when they throw

How is Axe Throw Scored?​

• It's simple, you count up the points on the logs that each of your axes are stuck to. If an axe is touching ​two numbers, you can choose the higher of those numbers. 

• Knives are worth double points

• If an axe or knife is stuck to a blank log, no points are awarded

• Axe throw is a yard game so you can receive up to 16 points for your overall team score - NCAA Scoring: 1st-16pts, 2nd-12pts, 3rd-10pts, 4th-8 pts, 5th -6pts, 6th-5 pts, 7th-4pts, 8th-3pts and 1 point for all teams that participate

What happens if the score is tied?

• Each team will have one player throw one set of implements in a throw off. If it is still tied after all 7 implements, the other player throws. All play continues 

What if there is a dispute in the game?

• All disputes will be handled by the commissioner, Will Short. He has final say, if he is involved in the game Mack Short will make the call.​
