Never knew this existed.
Men (17 & up) - 5 targets (like a #5 on dice) - Must throw - Upper right, lower right, center, lower left, upper left. Highest bulls-eye no more than 5 ft. 6 in. high (2.5 in. diameter scores 3 points), inner ring is 8 in., scores 2 points, outer ring is 16 in. scores 1 point. Lowest bulls-eye at no less than 2 ft. 8 in. You toss 5 knives, score, retrieve (total of 4 times at each distance). Hold the knife by the blade, must do a half spin - throw from 8 ft. - then repeat the twenty throws from 11 ft. - holding the handle (one full spin). Next is 11 feet, by the blade, 1 and a half spins, 18 feet, two full spins, finally 21 feet with two and a half spins. Total of 100 tosses. Point must pierce target face to count. Blade cutting line between scoring rings counts as next higher scored point value.
Perfect score = 300 points. "Distinguished Expert" scores a 225 and up.
Women (and youths aged 10-16) throw 3 times, at 6, 10, 13 and 16 feet. (same spins and holding as 1st four in Mens) - total of 60 throws; top score = 180 points, 135 points for "D.E."
Age 9 and under throw 3 times (no set distance minimum) one half spin, and one full spin throw set - total of 30 throws - max. score = 90 points, Junior Expert is 60 points or more.
