Jerseys are available for pick up any time at the check-in table starting at 10am Thursday. We recommend bringing a backup jersey if possible, in case there is an issue with your WAKTC order. If your jersey is incorrect or missing, you may wear a past event jersey, a venue or sponsor t-shirt, or receive one of the following for free to wear (while supplies last): WAKTC event t-shirt, or generic WAKTC jersey.

All axes and knives used in official competition must be legal and inspected at the check-in table. Equipment checks will be done at check-in when competitors pick up their jersey or anytime before their first match at the check-in table. All axes/knives that meet spec will be marked with an event-specific sticker, which must remain on the axe/knife for the entirety of the official competition.
It is highly recommended that competitors check the specs of their axes (especially big axe weights) before travelling to the tournament!
