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.
2023 Spring Pro League is comprised of the top 128 qualifying competitors* from the 2023 Winter League standard hatchet competitors.
Each season, the top 24 WATC Pros (by leaderboard position) will be awarded a bid to WATC VII, held in 2024.
To earn a 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 to the top 24 finishers.
