Background: AxeChix want to create a woman-only entertainment experience whereby women can gather a group of friends together, come to their venue, and experience something quite unique. Women will attend, train with an accredited and experienced coach, and then play a ‘tournament’ against each other to see which friend wins bragging rights as the champion axe thrower. Bookings are made in two hour blocks, with coaching and safety training taking the first half hour and the ‘tournament’ game play being the remaining time. AxeChix has all-female employees, is for women only, players must be 18 years and over, and no corporate bookings available. They are trying to work out whether this would be a viable enterprise and have hired you to advise them.
