2022 Winter Pro League

December 30th, 2021

The World Axe Throwing Professional League (WATL Pro League) is a qualifying system that helps to recognize the top competitors in the sport of axe throwing for standard hatchet competition.

2022 Winter Pro League is comprised of the 2021 World Axe Throwing Championship standard hatchet competitors.

Each season, the top 24 WATC Pros (by leaderboard position) will be awarded a bid to the 2022 WATC

To earn their WATC Bid:

  • Pro Bid Winners must have thrown at least 50% kill attempts (28) in their qualifying league.
  • Bids trickle down if there are already bid holders in the top 24 finishers

Please be reminded that Pro Status does not carry forward past the next season and throwers have to re-qualify EVERY SEASON for Pro Status.

For more information on how to qualify for the next season of Pro League, please see our rules linked here.
