the game
Teams of two will compete each week, playing toward the championships in Week 7. Unlimited substitutions are allowed, so if you can't make it every week, find a sub and you're good to go.
The first six weeks are regular season nights that will determine the teams who will compete and the seeding for Championship Night (Week 7, November 4 & 6). Champions will play at the end of season Milwaukee Axe Throwing Championship Party on Tuesday, November 12 at NorthSouth Club while the rest of us throw some axes, eat some food and drink some drinks; you know, a proper party.
New to axe throwing? No problem! We'll teach you. Like all Bars & Rec activities, axe throwing is easy to learn, tough to master, but so much fun to play.

League FAQs
MAY I bring my own axe?
No - house axes only. One axe will be provided per lane. Teams can jointly request an axe change, if needed, at the beginning of a match.
do we need to have the same two players every week?
Nope! Unlimited substitutions are allowed. Each new player does need to sign a waiver and complete Axe Master training before participating, though. We will host an Axe Master training each league night at 6:45pm for any substitute players. Substitute players MUST attend the training before they can play.
Can my friends hang out even if they aren't playing?
Only two wristbands will be issued to each team per League night. Friends without wristbands are welcome to watch, but will not be allowed to throw during games or warm-ups without paying an additional walk-in fee.
do i have to be really good at axe throwing to enjoy leagues?
Heck no! We'll teach you to throw and a good time will be had by all.
