There is a very popular place in Cracow called Bad axe where you can test your ability to do it and in a company of fully qualified instructors learn how to do it in appropriate way. The rules are quite simple. To throw the axe properly you must put both hands on the axe than place it at the back of your head and with distinct move just let the axe got towards the target. If it is about competition, the rules are the same simple. At the beginning all of the players play game “stone-paper-snips” and the winner starts. Every player has 3 tries to warm up before the first game of the evening and only 1 try to warm up before the second game of the evening. After warm up it is a unwritten rule that every players knock their axes to keep sport spirit. Every match has 3 rounds where each of rounds takes 5 throws. To win the whole game it must be 2 of 3 rounds won. Every single player throws every 3 rounds even if one of them has already won two first rounds. The important rule is that if someone wins the first round and the rest two rounds it will be draw, than this player wins the whole game. If there is a situation that after every 3 rounds is a draw, than it is an additional round which is about to throw a big axe. The additional round starts also from the “stone-paper-snips” game to decide who will throw first. Every player has only one shoot and the winning throw is the one which hits the blue area. If there is a situation that every player make a good shot, than it is needed to repeat the round. The same in situation if every player make a bad shoot.
