Every Mobile Axe RVA event runs one or more of these. Our coaches walk every player through the format, manage the scoreboard, and keep the pace tight. Pick a favorite or let the coach match the right game to your crowd on the spot.
The scoring
Coach calls each round, manages disputes, and resets axes between throws. You just throw.
Each player throws 10 axes, alternating turns. Standard 1/3/5 scoring. On throws 6 and 10 you may call "kill shot" before throwing — hit either green dot for 7, miss it for 0. The format every axe-throwing league uses worldwide.
On recordAvg winning score 38/60 · best ever 54/60 (March '26 corporate)
Coach tipSave your kill-shot call for throw 10 — your form is tighter than throw-6 nerves.
Best for competitive groups, sports teams, corporate die-hards, anyone who wants the real deal.
Coach builds the bracket on the spot. Each match is a quick 5-throw duel. Losers are out, winners advance. Final two play a 10-throw championship with kill shots unlocked. We hand-make a "champion" sticker for the winner.
On recordLargest bracket run: 28 players · finals usually decided by ≤4 points
Coach tipPair the early seeds against weakest scorers — the underdog Cinderella story always shows up by round 3.
Best for corporate retreats, birthdays, fundraisers, anyone with 8+ players ready to compete.
Stick the outer ring, then middle, then inner, then bullseye, then kill shot — each ring exactly once. Skip a ring or hit out of order and you reset to the start. Brutal accuracy test. The coach narrates each successful step like a play-by-play announcer.
On recordAvg finish 9-14 throws · cleanest run on record: 7 throws (a thrower from Roanoke, no missed step)
Coach tipSlow down. Speed-throwers reset on the inner ring constantly because they pull the bullseye accidentally.
Best for experienced throwers, late rounds when the crowd has warmed up, side-bet matches.
Call your shot ("inner ring, top-left quadrant"), then stick it. Your opponent has to match it exactly. Miss the call = earn a letter. Spell A-X-E and you're eliminated. Style points encouraged: call a kill shot through bullseye? Coach will allow it.
On recordAvg duel runs 6-8 throws · longest standoff: 23 throws at a March bachelor party
Coach tipStyle points — call a quadrant + a rotation count ("inner ring, two-spin") and the whole crowd loses it.
Best for friend groups, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, anyone who liked HORSE in driveway basketball.
Take turns throwing. Each hit adds to your running total. At 18+ points you can "stand" — no more throws. Or push to 21 and risk going over. Bust above 21 → back to 0. First to land on exactly 21 wins. Strategy meets aim.
On recordAvg game: 12 throws · perfect 21 lands roughly once per event
Coach tipStanding at 18 is the statistically safest play — only an opponent's exact 21 can beat it.
Best for groups that like a little card-game tension with their throws, slower evenings, table-game enjoyers.
Split into teams of 3-5. Each member throws 5 axes. Coach tracks running totals on a leaderboard the entire crowd can see. The pressure builds as the last team member walks up. Best for events where everyone wants to play, not just compete.
On recordAvg winning team: 71 points over 5 throwers · top team total: 92 (corporate retreat, April)
Coach tipStack your team's strongest thrower last — the anchor goes for the dramatic finish with the room watching.
Best for corporate mixers, weddings, large groups, anywhere the goal is "everyone gets to throw and feel included".
All 5 throws are declared kill shots. Stick a green dot → 7. Land anywhere else (even dead-center bullseye) → 0. Pure drama. Score range is 0-35. We've seen perfect rounds. We've also seen 0-0 finals that went to a final showdown.
On recordAvg score: 14/35 · perfect 35 hit twice in two years · two 0-0 finals went to single-throw showdown
Coach tipThere's no defensive play here. Commit hard, follow through, and aim for the dot — the crowd wants the gasp.
Best for bachelor/bachelorette parties, daring groups, late-night finales, anyone who wants the room to gasp.
Coach times you and resets axes as fast as you can throw them. Whatever you stick in 60 seconds gets totaled — standard 1/3/5 scoring, no kill shots. Built for rapid turnover and rotating crowds. Easy to run with walk-up guests at brewery events or festival booths.
On recordAvg throws in 60 sec: 9 axes · top sheet: 16 throws with 4 sticks (Hardywood event)
Coach tipDon't aim for the 5 — quick 3s rack up faster and stick more reliably under time pressure.
Best for walk-up parties, brewery activations, festival booths, large guest lists with limited time per person.
Everyone throws 3 axes per round. Lowest total is out. Last player standing wins. Coach narrates the drama as the field shrinks ("we are down to three"). Ties are broken with a one-throw sudden death. By the final, the entire crowd is watching.
On recordAvg event: 5-6 elimination rounds · longest final-round sudden death: 14 throws (May '25)
Coach tipDon't peak too early — save your composure for round 4+, when the crowd is fully locked in.
Best for birthdays, end-of-event finale rounds, groups of 5-8 who want one clear winner.
Not sure which one fits?
Corporate retreat? Usually Tournament Bracket or Team Relay. Wedding cocktail hour? Speed Round + A-X-E keeps energy high. Birthday? Last Axe Standing brings the drama for the finale. The coach reads the room and picks.
