Scoring
Axe Scoring Guidelines
Where Your Axe Counts:
Only the front part of the axe head scores—the section up to the front of the eye (the opening where the handle passes through). If your axe doesn’t have a visible eye, the scoring zone is judged where the handle first connects to the head.
Points are awarded according to the highest-value scoring ring that the valid portion of the axe contacts. In cases where the blade touches a dividing line, the higher point value is given. While this may not be standard across all leagues, it is the method used here.
Axes that land below the scoring surface or bury too deep don't count past what's visible above the board. No yanking or shifting allowed—score it exactly as it landed.
-
If your axe drops before it’s scored, that’s a drop—no points.
