Axe – Cricket Rules

Objective:

Close out all of your numbers and have the higher score to win!

Rules:

  1. Players take turns throwing an axe three times each at the board, trying to hit 15 through 20 and the bullseye. All other numbers do not count.
  2. Each team must “close out” all of their numbers 15 through 20 and the bullseye by sticking the numbers and bullseye three times.
  3. The inner ring counts as 3 sticks while the outer ring counts as 2 sticks.
  4. The bullseye outer ring counts as 1 stick while the center counts for 2 sticks.
  5. If a team closes out a number before the other teams do, that team can start racking up points every time they stick that number until all teams close it out.
  6. Once all teams have closed out a number, it is no longer in play and points can no longer be earned.
  7. The first team that closes out all their numbers and has the higher score wins.
  8. If your axe blade is touching two different scoring areas, count the higher score.
  9. If your axe falls out of the board before the score is determined, the shot counts as a miss.
