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.
At the end of each league season, the top 24 Pros (by leaderboard position) will be awarded a bid to the 2023 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.
Pro League status achieved from the 2023 Fall Season will not carry over into Season 1 of 2024, but we want to recognize these individuals for their hard work nonetheless. The individuals are the top 128 Hatchet competitors from the 2023 Fall Season who attempted at least 50% of Killshots.
For more information on how to qualify for the 2024 Pro League, stay tuned for the upcoming release on our Qualifying page.
Congrats to the 2023 Fall Pro League bid winners!
