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 Fall Pro League is comprised of the top 128 competitors from the 2022 Summer League standard hatchet competitors.

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

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.
