As a proud member of the World Axe Throwing League (WATL), Axeiom believes in the Rules and Code of Conduct that WATL consistently upholds. Read on the WATL website.

House Rules

  • Inebriated guests cannot throw. Although we are BYOB, we reserve the right to deny service to, or remove any visibly inebriated or rowdy guests. We do not allow guests to drink hard liquor or ingest legal marijuana. Let’s keep axe throwing safe, sane and axe-ceptional! Remember: axes before beer, in the clear.

  • All guests must wear closed-toed shoes. But if you forget them at home, don’t worry. We have some lovely crocs for you to wear if you need them!

  • Minors age 12-17 are permitted to throw with adult supervision. Safety waivers for all minors must be filled out by an accompanying adult.

  • Axeiom allows guests to bring food and beverages, but we ask that you have respect for our space and clean up after yourself and your party.

Basic Safety

  • Be aware of your surroundings.

  • Throw together. Retrieve together. No exceptions.

  • One hatchet per target.

  • Axes shall never be thrown when a person or live object is beyond the 12ft fault line.

  • No aggressive or destructive throwing.

  • Double hatchet throwing is not permitted.

Code of Conduct

Our Axe Throwing Rules assure that all leagues and events are played in a sportsmanship-like manner. Although competition may become intense, we expect our participants to maintain a high degree of sportsmanship up to and after the final throw. As a participant in any AXEIOM or WATL tournament or event, you must pledge to:

  • Respect the game, play fairly, and follow all rules and policies.

  • Accept & respect the decisions of AXEIOM and WATL officials.

  • Demonstrate good sportsmanship before, during, and after games, win or lose.

  • Help to maintain and keep all equipment and conditions at the facility in good condition.

  • Obey all facility rules, while respecting all equipment, common areas, playing areas, parking areas, and surrounding neighborhoods.

  • Refrain from the use of abusive language or profanity. (Including but not limited to: contemptuous, discriminatory or derogatory words or actions concerning race, color, language, religion, gender, or sexual orientation).

  • Not engage in any behavior which would endanger the health, safety, or well being of any player, official staff member, or spectator.

  • Not engage in verbal, written, or physical threats or abuse aimed at any participant, official, staff member, or spectator.

  • Not initiate a fight, scuffle, or exchange with any individual (including but not limited to: pushing, shoving, punching, kicking, verbal threats or harassment).
