Icebreaker Rules

Icebreaker is designed to allow new throwers and experienced throwers that are new to UKAT get used to throwing online. It will also allow throwers with limited space or resources to get involved. All you need is one target, one knife or axe, and 4-5m of clear space. Game play is 18 throws at a single target from the 3m Foul line, its that simple!

Icebreaker is a single distance, single Implement competition that does not conform to all the general UKAT Rules. The following rules supersede the general rules unless otherwise noted.
