Formats that work for axe throwing
Pick the format; Scoreholio generates every matchup and lane
Round robin
Every thrower faces a set number of different opponents with a running leaderboard — the backbone of a league season.
How it works →Double elimination
Winners and losers brackets so one bad round doesn't end the night. Best-of options for the final.
How it works →Squadholio
Squads compete as a unit across rounds — big-group energy for team-building events.
How it works →Switcholio
Random partner each round with individual standings — the easy way to run a social doubles night.
How it works →Swissholio
Swiss pairing: each round you face someone with a similar record, so the tournament stays tight to the end.
How it works →Set-schedule leagues
A weeks-long league with the full schedule up front and stats carried across the season.
How it works →Scoring, your way
Axe matches are scored by rounds of throws — bullseyes, rings and killshots adding up to a match total. Enter each thrower's round scores and the scoreboard keeps the match total, result and standings, whether you play best-of-three or a fixed number of throws.
Score however fits your venue: the organizer or a coach enters scores from the admin screen, a tablet at each lane runs an interactive scoreboard, or turn on Player Scoring so throwers submit from their own phones. Remote Mode controls every connected scoreboard and TV from one place.
Turn on ScoreMagic™ to record every throw rather than just the match total — that is where the stats come from: per-throw averages, match points and history, live during league night and in each thrower's profile afterwards. An SPR (Scoreholio Player Rating) carries across events.

Common questions
Does Scoreholio track axe throwing stats?
Yes. With ScoreMagic™ scoring on, every throw is recorded — per-throw averages, match points and history — and throwers see 30-day, 120-day and all-time stats in their profile.
Can I run a full axe throwing league season?
Yes. Set-schedule leagues plan every week's matchups up front and carry standings and stats across the season; finish with a championship bracket.
How do corporate group events work?
Squadholio keeps each company group together as a squad competing across rounds, or Switcholio mixes everyone with a new partner each round. Either way every player gets their lane assignment by push alert.
How do players score — do they need the app?
Three options: the organizer scores from the admin screen, tablets at each lane run interactive scoreboards, or players score from their own phones with the free Scoreholio app (Player Scoring is part of the Competitive organizer level and up). Live standings show on any TV either way.
What does it cost to run a axe throwing tournament?
The Social organizer level is free forever: round robins and brackets, digital scoreboards and dashboards, up to 8 courts and 32-team brackets. Competitive ($4.99/month) adds player phone scoring, game timers, custom alerts, live chat support and advanced stats; higher levels raise the court and bracket limits. Quick Tournaments (up to 16 players, 4 courts) are free for anyone with an organizer account. See pricing.
What do players and organizers need?
Players: a phone with the free Scoreholio app (iOS or Android) and an internet connection at the venue. Organizers can run everything from a phone, tablet or computer and put live standings on any TV. See supported devices.
