I will be competing against the big guns yes, im currently ranked 6th in Australia in the ruleset the marathon is running in. There is essentially two rules sets, standard and premier, premier requires a much higher level of accuracy but anyone can compete in either rule set. The marathons are usually capped at 24 people, so there will be a pretty big range of skills.
The Asia Pacific Champs in 2 weeks is an invite only finals under the premier rule set, there were qualifiers around Australia early this year, the top 2 from each venue went straight into finals and then the rest of the spots went to the people with the highest averages in qualifying :)
Yeh everyone can throw really well, so consistency and doing well under pressure are really important. The mental part is definitely where i need to work on the most, the closer i can get in match play to the way i throw in practice the happier ill be :)
That sounds like an awesome weekend! Will you be competing against the big guns? Are there amateur/novice divisions, or is it all or nothing?

That’s awesome! Congrats on qualifying and good luck this weekend!
I’ve got a disc golf comp on Sunday. Teams match play format, so a bit different to usual and should be fun.
Another question. At your level in axe throwing, is it largely mental game that decides the winner, or other factors?
