From the first toss to the league champion.
Throwers leave with a bullseye on their phone and a personal best on their passport. You run lane reservations, WATL/IATF leagues, mobile scoring, video capture, walk-in queues, and Friday-night highlights — all from one place.
Purpose-built for axe throwing.
Everything you need to run axe throwing — booking, payments, ops, and the social layer that compounds into a passport for every customer.
Lane Control Dashboard
Visual lane grid showing real-time availability, active sessions, thrower counts, and upcoming reservations — drag-and-drop lane swaps when you need to rebalance the floor on a busy Friday night.
League & Tournament Engine
Full season management with WATL and IATF rule sets, round-robin and bracket formats, head-to-head match scheduling, live standings, player handicaps, and automatic playoff seeding when the regular season ends.
Safety & Waiver Management
Mandatory digital waiver signing before any thrower touches an axe — includes age verification, safety video acknowledgment, rules quiz, and incident reporting with timestamped logs for insurance compliance.
Walk-In & Reservation Flow
Handle both walk-in customers and advance online bookings with smart capacity management, happy hour and late-night pricing tiers, and automatic buffer times between sessions for lane reset and cleanup.
Event & Party Packages
Bachelor parties, corporate team-building, and birthday events with bundled pricing — add food and drink minimums, reserved lane blocks, private coaching sessions, and custom merchandise packages at checkout.
Mobile Scoring Console
Throwers score directly from their phones — tap the target zone after each throw for instant point tallying, personal best tracking, match-by-match history, and live leaderboard updates across every lane.
What sets it apart.
The features built specifically for axe throwing — the kind of operator-specific tooling generic SaaS can’t match.
Multi-Discipline Rule Sets
Configurable rule sets for WATL-style, IATF-style, and custom house formats — switch scoring rules per lane or per league with target-zone presets and per-discipline standings, ready for the first Founder house to dial in.
Coach & Instructor Management
Assign certified coaches to lanes for beginner sessions and group clinics, track instructional hours, manage tip-out splits, and let first-timers book a coached intro session right from the reservation page.
Video Capture & Social Sharing
Lane-mounted cameras record every throw — auto-clip bullseyes and kill shots into shareable highlight reels with your venue branding, delivered instantly to the thrower for posting to Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
No monthly fees. No setup costs. The whole platform.
You don’t pay us. IOX Blade is free for the venue. A 6% service fee paid by your customer at checkout funds the entire platform. You keep 100% of your ticket price. Every feature ships out of the box — no premium tiers, no gated upgrades. Funds settle directly to your Stripe account.
The first operator on each spoke gets 5% instead of 6% — forever, by invitation. Standard plan is 6%. See operator details.
Cross-platform identity
Customers use one IOX account across every spoke. No duplicate signups, no lost booking history. The day you go live on IOX, every existing IOX Adventurer in your area is already reachable.
Unified analytics
Bookings, revenue, customer retention, and per-experience performance — every dashboard you need in one place. Export to CSV, JSON, or PDF whenever you want a copy.
Production-grade security
PCI-compliant payments through Stripe, encrypted at rest and in transit, tenant-scoped row-level security in Postgres, and MFA on staff access to production. Security documentation available on request — happy to walk through it.
