Labor Day Hat 2011!

The 16th Annual SKA Brewing Durango Hat will take place again this year on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2-5.  We only play the tournament on Saturday and Sunday, the 3-4, but you will want to come early and stay late.  You’re welcome to come pick-up at our league on Thursday night, then road or mountain bike or hike or rock climb on Friday morning.  Friday afternoon at 4:30 we gather at the top of our in town ski hill, and huck discs down.  Win a dollar for every ultimate disc you put into the parking lot, and win a new disc if you make the road.  6:00-dark is pick-up at Riverview(2900 Mesa); 8:00-midnight is Beach Volleyball under the lights at Santa Rita (Santa Rita Dr. and S. Camino del Rio).  At midnight we rally out to the campground where we tap the second keg.  Saturday games start at 10:30, with dinner and a party at SKA Brewing World Headquarters(225 Girard St.)  We’ll have great food, $1 beers all night long, at least 1 live band, a new stand up comedy routine from Chad and a best joke competition, as well as indoor and outdoor games.  After-party at the campground again.  Sunday morning we cook you pancakes and scrambled eggs at the fields, and then we cook you burgers for finals.  Sunday evening we’ll have some bar specials lined up downtown, with another keg at the campground as well.  Monday you can get out and enjoy the beautiful mountains around Durango, or play in a special Ultimate only Beach Volleyball tournament.  The rest of the town has to wait til the afternoon to play.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention we play on the nicest fields in town, and there will be tons of field food.  And every player gets a limited edition disc and shirt.  So limited that if you show up late you may miss out.  But if you preregister, you won’t miss out.

Preregistration is $35 via paypal if you do a personal transfer: log into your paypal account: send money: this email account: $35: personal [NOT PURCHASE]: other

If your paypal account is not linked to your bank account you can’t do a personal transfer, in which case you can leave it on the purchase tab, but the fee will be $37.

Either way, please rank yourself in the following 3 categories in the comments of your payment: Athleticism: 1-10, Experience 1-10, Competitiveness 1-5

A 1-1-1 would be: I never, ever run, or exercise; I’ve never played the game or any other field sport, and I don’t care about winning, i.e. I won’t be sober all weekend

A 10-10-5 would be: I run Ironman Triathlons for fun, I’ve won a National or World Championship, and winning is the only thing that matters to me.

I will also be accepting registration in person at Lungbuster or Cow Patty.  If possible, try to have your info on a note card.

Day of registration will be $40 if we have room.  There will be a discount for college students based on how many players from you school attend.  NAU and UNM usually bring their whole teams so they will most likely not have to pay more than $30 per person.

Camping Directions: (Take Highway 160 east out of Durango, turn right just past mile marker 97:about 100 feet to the east of the mile marker.  Follow the main dirt road .75 miles, then follow the dirt track south when the road turns back towards the west)
