Herewith we announce the 2nd
National Knife and Axe Throwing Championship combined with the Hungarian Knife
Throwers Meeting, that is, Rigac Cup, in order to reunite, make acquaintance
with, unburden the friendly and professional exchange of views for, as well as measuring
the sportsmanlike preparedness of the Hungarian knife and axe throwers.
The event, hopefully repeated annually,
is dedicated to become the most prestigious event of the country, a friendly
reunion so relaxed, where the true devotees of the sport, nowadays still
arrantly neglected, can freely participate and challenge themselves.
Date and time: Saturday, 3rd of September,
2016.
Location: Alsómocsolád,
home of the bygone 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 knife and axe throwers for a relaxed little throwing session, and
provide the opportunity to make acquaintance with each other, including the
foreign participants as well. Let’s meet the 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.
Every participant is obligated to
think about getting to the location and getting accommodation for themselves.
If there’s need for a local accommodation, please arrange in advance.

Both the competition as a whole and the individual events will be held according to the uniform and official European
Knife and Axe Throwing Rules.
We will do the following events:
-
Knife
-
Axe
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 events of the championship will
also be supplemented by the knife (3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 m) and axe (4, 5, 7, 8 and
10 m) walk back, speed, silhouette, long distance knife and long distance axe
events.
For the precision events, there will be four combined rankings: For
women, men, knives and axes separately (on condition that there are at least 6
female participants!). Knives combine the 3m, 5m, 7m and 9m knife events, axes
combine the 4m, 5m, 7m and 8m exe events.
The total combined precision ranking is the sum of the above-mentioned
combined knife ranking and combined axe ranking.

For the title of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Lad
of Jancsi Rigac 2016 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. (In
order to determine the first 20%, 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 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.
The combined WB ranking is done by
the summing up of the points reached in the knife walk back and axe walk back
events.
The absolute ranking is made by the
summing up of the points reached in the total combined ranking and in the
combined WB ranking.
Be sure to read all relevant background information, rules and regulations about
the competition!
Everyone is waited for by the
organizers!
