TOURNAMENT
Sunday, November 20 will be the weekend’s title event as amateurs can compete against professionals in a double elimination tournament showdown following the World Axe Throwing League rules for $2,500 in cash prizes. Free admission for spectators to see some of the best axe-throwers in the country coming to Sandusky for this weekend’s competition before competing in the 6th Annual World Axe Throwing League Championship in early December. Buckeye Cable Sports Network has partnered with the Battle of Lake Erie to stream the Sunday event LIVE at BCSNapp.com/watch.

Noble Axes founded the Battle of Lake Erie event in 2021 with four age groups for competition. After smashing their expected participation in 2021, focus turned to the expansion of the 2022 event. The organizers added the Throw for a Prize event to include more amateur axe-throwers. “One of our main goals is to continue to grow the sport. Axe throwing can be a little intimidating, especially if you have never done it before. But I promise you it is not as difficult as it looks and people can get pretty good at it pretty fast,” said Noble Axes owner Rick Hogrefe.

Add the Battle of Lake Erie Axe Throwing Tournament to your fall bucket list and keep the good times rolling in the Shores & Islands Ohio region. Be sure to also take full advantage of the indoor shopping experience at Marketplace Downtown where you can eat, drink, shop, and play all under one roof.
