Invitation to the First Hungarian National Knife and
Axe Throwing Championship and Hungarian Knife Throwers
Meeting!
Herewith we announce the First Hungarian
National Knife and Axe Throwing Championship combined with the Hungarian Knife
Throwers Meeting, called “Rigac Cup”, in order to reunite friends of
knife throwing, make acquaintance with new ones, facilitate the friendly and
professional exchange of views, as well as measuring the powers of the
Hungarian knife and axe throwers.
The event, to be repeated annually,
is dedicated to become the most prestigious event of the country, a friendly
reunion, where the true devotees of the sport, can freely participate and challenge
themselves.
Date and time: Saturday, 26th of September, 2015.
Location: Alsómocsolád,
home of the famous outlaw, Jancsi Rigac.
Organizer: Sports Club of Alsómocsolád, with
the moral and financial support of the council of Alsómocsolád.
The main goal is to gather the
Hungarian and international knife and axe throwers for a relaxed little
throwing session, and provide the opportunity to make acquaintance with each
other. Let’s meet old friends, make new ones, and learn new tricks from each
other. And, of course, let’s decide in a
sportsmanlike competition who is in the best shape at the moment. The long and
short of it: let the steel stick.
Since the number of
the participants is limited, prior registration is necessary. Registration deadline: 7th of September,
2015.
Every participant is responsible for
getting to the location and getting accommodation for themselves. If there’s
need for a local accommodation, please arrange in advance.
We are available to help you in booking
your accommodation.

Both the competition as a whole and the individual events will be held according to the standard and official European
Knife and Axe Throwing Rules.
We will do the following events:
- Knife
3 m, 5 m and 7 m;
- Axe
4 m, 5 m and 7 m (in case of the axe 5m event, it is mandated that the axe must
be sticking with its handle pointing upward!);
For each event, the thrower has to
show up with a set of three throwing tools (knives/axes), of uniform shape and material (same
"model"). Exceptions only for throwing tools damaged during the meeting.
The Knife/Axe Combined Champions
will be determined using a competition in WalkBack mode (see below).
For the precision events, there will be four combined rankings: For
women, men, knives and axes separately (on condition that there are at least 5
female participants!). Knives combine the 3m, 5m and 7m knife events, axes
combine the 4m, 5m and 7m axe events.
The points achieved in each event will first be normalized, and then
summed up. Normalization here means that in each event, the best thrower will
receive 100 normalized points. This ensures that a point in a more demanding
event (like 7m knives) also carries more weight in the combined ranking.
The total combined precision ranking is the sum of the above-mentioned normalized
combined knife ranking and normalized combined axe ranking.
Titles to win:
- Rigac
Champion 2015 (knife 3, 5, 7 m; axe 4, 5, 7 m /male, female) (12 titles)
- Rigac
Combined Champion 2015 (knife, axe /male, female) (4 titles)
- Rigac
Total Combined Champion 2015 (total combined /male, female) (2 titles)
- 1st,
2nd, and 3rd Lad of Jancsi Rigac 2015 (knife WalkBack, axe WalkBack /male,
female) (4 titles)
For the title of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Lad of Jancsi Rigac 2015 in Knife/Axe
Precision Throwing, we will use the walk-back-mode. Those contestants are
allowed to take part in these walk-back events who fall within the first 20% of
the combined knife ranking or the combined axes ranking, respectively, but at
least 20 throwers per event. (The event will be held at the following marked
distances: Knife 3, 4, 5, 6, 7m, axe 4, 5, 7, 8, 10m. The thrower will throw
one round of three throws per distance mark, starting behind the closest
distance mark and moving back behind the next distance mark after completing
the previous round. The total number of throws in one run is thus 15 throws (5
distances x 3 throws per round = 15 throws). This whole process will be then
repeated three more times, resulting in 60 throws in all (4 runs x 15 throws
per run = 60 throws). The thrower does not have to stand at the distance mark,
but can move back at maximum 99cm.
Be sure to read all relevant background information, rules and regulations about
the competition!
The organizers are looking forward to seeing all you knife throwers!
