There are many meetings and contests where one can meet fellow knife- and axe-throwers.  Throwzini has an overview of the meetings in the United States, while we cover Europe primarily. (If you know of any meeting, please send us an email.)
The largest event in Europe has so far always been the Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship.
For many competitions, the standard European Knife and Axe Throwing Rules are used.
Do have a look at the pictures in our reports on past meetings.
If you are interested in "throwing" a meeting in your country, or are just curious, join the Eurothrowers mailinglist.
The European Throwing Club "Flying Blades" (Eurothrowers) is of course another very important source. Among other things, they published a best-practice handbook on how to organise throwing competitions.
This calendar is about knife throwing, and axe throwing - that is, tomahawks and other small axes. Should an event be about axes with two blades, this is marked by "double bit".

To promote the exchange between axe- and knife throwers, in 2001 the European Throwing Club Flying Blades (Eurothrowers) started the "Big Throwers Meeting / World and European Championship". This event has since been established as the both the central annual competition and relaxed and friendly meetup for throwers from all over Europe and the world, and is assigned to a different country each year.
If you are interested in organising the event in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
In September 2008, representatives from 4 European countries negotiated a common set of competition rules. After a revision in 2010, those are used in most international European competitions:
