Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship in Knife Throwing and Axe Throwing
promoted by Knifethrowing.info and
Axtwerfen.de and Eurothrowers.orgTo promote the exchange between axe- and knife throwers in Europe, in 2001 the European Throwing Club Flying Blades (EuroThrowers) has started the "Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship". This event has since been established as the central annual competition and meeting place for throwers from all over Europe, and is assigned to a different country each year.
To understand why the Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship is really the most important event for knife throwers and axe throwers each year, just read the reports about the last years' events.
In 2010, the event was held in Rome, Italy, in 2011 we met in Herrischried, Germany.
8th/9th September 2012, Forni Avoltri, Italy
The European Championship will this year be held in Forni Avoltri in northern Italy. It will be organised by the EuroThrowers-member club "Il Giusto verso Karnia throwers", the contact person is Gaetano D'Avenia.
More details will be published here as soon as they are available.
If you are interested in coming to the Championship, please register (non-binding). This will also make sure you always receive the most up-to-date information.
Originally we intended to hold the European Championship 2012 in Moscow. Unfortunately still in the beginning of 2012 it could not be found out how it is possible to legally bring throwing knives to Russia for the event. Thus, the organisers had to withdraw their application, and are working on making the event happen in Moscow in one of the coming years.
Rules
The rules employed will be the standard European Knife and Axe Throwing Rules (Version 2010), which also state the knife and axe events that will be held. Please familiarise yourself with the rules (which are available in 7 languages) in advance.
