Leagues – Duals

You Wanted Duals, Now Pair Off!

Get ready to double the fun, double the axes, and maybe double the chaos—welcome to Duals League. It’s all about teamwork, timing, and not accidentally syncing your bad throws. You and your partner will take the lane side-by-side, hurling axes in unison under official WATL Duals rules. Communication is key and  coordination is everything. Whether you’re a finely tuned throwing machine or two gremlins in flannel figuring it out as you go, expect high-energy matches, loud cheers, synchronized bullseyes and the occasional “oops” when someone forgets which clutch you’re going for. Win or lose, it’s about having each other’s backs—and not hitting them with an axe.

Friendly is the name of the game, but how competitive you get is up to you (though we will have a ref on call to keep things…honestish just in case your inner lumberjack gets a little too enthusiastic). We’re a WATL facility, but since this is our maiden voyage into league territory, we’re leaning towards a “BYOBAP” (Bring Your Own Beer and Pizza) kind of situation.

After countless hours of intense research (mostly involving throwing axes), we’ve finally nailed down the perfect league setup.

  • Atmosphere is casual social; no going full gladiator.

  • You may bring your own WATL approved axe/hatchet.  We will have house hatches available, but each week that lucky one you used could now be in someone else’s loving hand.  Treat yourself to a professional hatchet—whether you play another league or not, you’ll still have a pro-level axe to call your own.
  • Spectator(s) allowed, but please keep it to 1 to 2 people.  It’s nice you want to bring your whole family, but remember this is your alone time.
  • Existing Guidelines still apply.  Questions about the league, please throw email (get it) to leagues@splinters-hatchetaxethrowing.com.

My husband and I don’t get much ‘us’ time; young kids will do that to you. He doesn’t know it yet, but I just signed us up for an 8-week date night… surprise, honey!
