HOSTED BY IATF MEMBERS OVER 9 REGIONS
We've partnered with 9 IATF members to elevate the existing Regional Tournament format into the REGIONAL AXE THROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS.
No, you are not restricted to any specific regional tournament. COMPETITORS are welcome to register and throw in any regional tournament. You can win multiple titles, however you can only win one bid to iatc.
venues were selected in consideration of the new iatf regions, feedback from january's regional tournaments, and in negotiation with iatf members to elevate ratc for this year and future years.
EXPANDED WEEKEND SCHEDULES
RATC is relaunching as a full weekend of events that will take place across multiple weekends at the beginning of November. The IATF Member hosts will be hosting feature tournaments in addition to the marquee Regional Tournament making for an epic weekend of competition with throwers from your local region.
VARIABLE PRIZE POOLS
40% of all registration fees collected for each tournament will go toward the cash prize pools at that tournament. Each tournament will have a prize pool payout for the top 8 competitors.
ROUND 2 QUALIFICATION
The first and second place winner in each marquee tournament will receive automatic qualification for Rounds 1 & 2* of the IATC 2025 Wilson Cup! Players who win a Round 2 entry must still compete in Round 1 for seeding purposes.
The first and second place winner in each feature tournament will receive a guaranteed spot in the equivalent tournament at IATC 2025.**
Yes, anyone can participate and play for the prize pools. However, players must have participated in a qualifying IATF League to win a reserved spot in Rounds 1 & 2 of the IATC Wilson Cup.
To be eligible to claim a reserved spot in Rounds 1 & 2, a player must have completed a qualifying IATF league between March 9, 2024, and the tournament date.
IN THE EVENT THAT A NON-QUALIFYING PLAYER WINS, THE ROUND 2 spot WOULD PASS TO THE NEXT best QUALIFYING finisher.
IF THE 1ST OR 2ND PLACE THROWER ALREADY KNOWS THEY WILL NOT BE ATTENDING IATC 2025 IN TORONTO, THEY SHOULD LET EITHER THE TOURNAMENT HOSTS OR THE IATF KNOW WITHIN 24 HOURS. IN THIS CASE, THE ROUNDS 1 & 2 SPOTS WOULD PASS TO THE NEXT BEST QUALIFYING FINISHER. IF THE THROWERS FAILS TO NOTIFY AND LATER DECLINES THEIR BID, IT WILL RETURN TO THE QUALIFICATION POOL FOR REDISTRIBUTION AMONGST THE MEMBER VENUES.
*Qualification to Round 2 is only available to COMPETITORS who WILL have completed a qualifying IATF league season by Jan. 27th, 2024.
**This only applies to the feature tournaments run by the IATF. Events like skills and marathons run by the host venues, do not receive spots in IATC.

HOW DOES POOL PLAY FORMAT WORK?
This format, by design, gives players more matches and better value. It further strengthens the competitive opportunities by guaranteeing each competitor 3 matches, with a minimum of 50% of competitors playing in at least 4 matches.
THE Format
The tourney starts with a group stage. Players are divided into groups of players dependent on the tournament size.
THE Group STAGE
Each competitor will throw 3 matches within the group in a 3 out of 5 round match format before any eliminations.
THE ELIMINATION STAGE
The top 2 competitors from each group move onto a double elimination bracket to crown that region's winner.
