(1.2) Match Format

Standard Match Format
1. Every regulation match consists of 3 rounds:
  1. Each round consists of 5 thrown axes per round;
  2. Player must win 2 of 3 rounds to win the match;
    1. In regulation competition players always throw all three rounds even if one player has won the first two rounds;
    2. Tracking of total points over 15 throws in all regulation matches is manditory;
    3. If a player wins the first round and ties the next 2 rounds this is still considered a match win as they have won the majority of the rounds in the match.
2. Players switch lanes between each round;
3. If players are tied at the end of the three rounds, a Big Axe tie breaker occurs. A tie occurs when all three rounds result in an overall tie;
  1. Each player has won 1 round, lost 1 round and tied 1 round;
  2. All three rounds are tied.
Big Axe Tiebreakers
1. A Big Axe round is played in sudden death fashion:
  1. Players use rock, paper, scissors to determine who throws first: winner chooses;
  2. Players alternate one throw each per big axe round;
  3. In the beginning, as long as the Big Axe sticks in the target breaking blue paint or sticking within the blue circle, the throw counts as good;
    1. If one player throws a good throw and the other a bad throw, the good throw wins;
    2. If both players throw a bad throw then they go again;
    3. If both players throw a good throw then they go again.
  4. If both players throw a good throw THREE TIMES IN A ROW, they then revert to the device scoring system ('Points' are live and majority rules);
    1. Play continues in sudden death fashion using device scoring rules until there is a winner;
    2. If players both drop an axe during points mode in Big axe they STAY in point mode;
    3. Once in point mode players can call Clutch.
  5. A thrower must 'Bull In' or sink a big axe bullseye BEFORE being able to call big axe clutch in that same match tiebreaker.
    1. Once BOTH players have sunk a bullseye each, clutch can be called by either at any time within their tiebreaker
    2. Clutches continue to be live for the remainder of that match, regardless if they are hit or missed.
    3. If bullseye has NOT been successfully thrown by both players in a tiebreaker, clutch will remain dead and unable to be called during that tiebreaker.
    4. This process will repeat during each big axe round a player finds themselves in.
