In order to continually challenge elite throwers around the world, WATL will be implementing a new rule set called Championship Rules. The new rules will allow for the top 1% of axe throwers to be continually challenged while not changing the rules or targets for 100% of all WATL throwers.
Championship Rules will apply to the top 6 finalists at Major & Televised Tournaments for the Standard Hatchet discipline. This includes WATC 2020 top 6 finalists. These rules do not apply for Big Axe or Duals.
Standard WATL Gameplay rules apply with the exception to the below additions/changes:
Target Modifications:
- The bullseye will be 1.5″ inches in diameter
- the bullseye will have an outline with a black pen to ensure no marker bleeds
- The black pen outline will count for points
- the bullseye will have an outline with a black pen to ensure no marker bleeds
- The outer bullseye will be defined as the area in between the bullseye and the previous outer bullseye outline (see diagram below)
- The outer bullseye will now be worth 5 points

The diagram below depicts what the Championship Rule target would look like:
