THE REASON FOR ONLINE COMPETITIONS Online throwing competitions were started because many people can't attend an actual event due to how far away the events are being held, or because they couldn't get enough time off of work etc. So the idea is to have an "online tournament" hoping more people can take part and have a good time throwing against others. 1st EVENT (Results Listed Below) *Everyone will throws 50 knives from a minimum of 8 feet and 50 knives from a minimum of 12 feet. *Use any knife up to 16 inches long and use any type of throw from either distance (half spins, full spins or no spins.) Just be sure not to step over the line. (Note: I would throw a 1/2 spin at 8 feet and a full spin at the 12 foot line but feel free to throw however you like!) *Use standard target dimensions of a 2.5 inch center (3 points), an 8 inch ring outside of that (2 point) and a 16 inch ring (1 point) outside of that. This makes the highest possible score 300 points for this contest. Email your scores to me by July 15th and I will post the results for all to see!

Then I did it Saturday, I threw a 203. I seemed to level out and throw a solid score around 185, and this morning's first round I hit 214. Now that's not going to win the tournament but going from 143 to 214 in just over a week feels like winning to me!! Is this a great sport or what?!!!!!" CONGRATULATIONS BILL ON A FINE PERFORMANCE! You may now talk as much 'smack' as you like about your uncanny ability to throw a knife! :-) Also, a huge thanks to everyone who participated! It's free, and there's no obligation. |
