Axe Throwing
Venue Software That Runs the Whole House
From online lane reservations and WATL/IATF league management to mobile scoring, video capture, and happy hour pricing — Blade handles every aspect of running an axe throwing business.
01
Purpose
Built.
Everything you need for axe throwing.
Lane Control Dashboard
Visual lane grid showing real-time availability, active sessions, thrower counts, and upcoming reservations — drag-and-drop lane swaps when you need to rebalance the floor on a busy Friday night.
League & Tournament Engine
Full season management with WATL and IATF rule sets, round-robin and bracket formats, head-to-head match scheduling, live standings, player handicaps, and automatic playoff seeding when the regular season ends.
Safety & Waiver Management
Mandatory digital waiver signing before any thrower touches an axe — includes age verification, safety video acknowledgment, rules quiz, and incident reporting with timestamped logs for insurance compliance.
Walk-In & Reservation Flow
Handle both walk-in customers and advance online bookings with smart capacity management, happy hour and late-night pricing tiers, and automatic buffer times between sessions for lane reset and cleanup.
Event & Party Packages
Bachelor parties, corporate team-building, and birthday events with bundled pricing — add food and drink minimums, reserved lane blocks, private coaching sessions, and custom merchandise packages at checkout.
Mobile Scoring Console
Throwers score directly from their phones — tap the target zone after each throw for instant point tallying, personal best tracking, match-by-match history, and live leaderboard updates across every lane.
02
What Sets
Us Apart.
Built from the ground up for your specific needs.
Multi-Discipline Rule Sets
Native support for WATL standard, IATF regulation, and custom house rules — switch between disciplines per lane or per league with automatic scoring adjustments and target configuration guides.
Coach & Instructor Management
Assign certified coaches to lanes for beginner sessions and group clinics, track instructional hours, manage tip-out splits, and let first-timers book a coached intro session right from the reservation page.
Video Capture & Social Sharing
Lane-mounted cameras record every throw — auto-clip bullseyes and kill shots into shareable highlight reels with your venue branding, delivered instantly to the thrower for posting to Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
