The World Aunt Sally Open Singles Championship (WASOSC) is an annual competition that takes place at the Charlbury Beer Festival in Charlbury, West Oxfordshire.[1]Aunt Sally is a traditional English throwing game played in pub gardens or fairgrounds dating back to the 17th century,[2] in which players throw sticks or battens at a model of an old woman's head.[3] The tournament is a knock out competition for individuals, with the winner's name then engraved onto the Finings Cup Trophy. The 2018 WASOSC event attracted a record number of 72 competitors, travelling from as far afield as Germany.[1][4]
The event returned in June 2022, after being cancelled for 2 years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The most recent World Aunt Sally Open Singles Championship was held on Saturday June 24, 2023 at the Charlbury Beer Festival.[6] The next event will be on Saturday 29 June 2024.[7]
The World Aunt Sally Open Singles Championship is open to individuals who participate in a knock out competition. Before the competition starts, names are drawn from a hat to determine the order of play. Games consist of 3 legs, where in each leg the players take 6 throws, where a point is awarded when the stick hits the doll before the iron. If tied after 3 legs, players throw 3 sticks each to determine the winner. Should the scores remain level after those 3 sticks, a sudden-death round, throwing a single stick at a time, to a winning result. The victor proceeds to the next round. Otherwise, normal Aunt Sally league rules apply and players must abide by the umpire's decision.[4][1]
