Durango Hat 2009
It’s almost that time of year. You know, the time for the best hat tournament in all the world. The Ska Brewing Durango Hat Tournament! All of us Durangatangs are excitedly looking forward to hosting you all for another awesome tournament.
Who knows, maybe we’ll actually get to have and then finish a finals game this year.
When?
Labor Day Weekend, September 5-6, 2009
Where?
Riverview Park (map), same as last year.
Format?
Hat-stylee, 4/3, 12 teams (for now)
Cost?
$30 for pre-registration of the first 75 people, $35 thereafter (Paypal and Google Checkout links below), which will include the following (according to Trent):
As always the party starts on Thursday with pick-up followed by $1 pint night. Friday we go mountain biking, road biking, rock climbing or tubing, followed by evening goaltimate. Then we cruise out to the campground and tap the first keg of the weekend. Saturday features a nice late start time of 10:30, although if you don’t pre-register, you need to be there by 9:45. Dinner and the party is at the new SKA World Headquarters, a great new venue about 10 times as big as the old place. Great food, kickass beer, a karaoke contest, poker tournament, beer olympics, dance competition, and a few other party surprises await. The after party is at the campground, with another keg, plus wine and cocktails. Sunday is another late start, although you will want to show up a little early for the pancake breakfast. Quarters, semis and finals, then we head to the hot springs for another party. Disc golf on Monday, or whatever your other favorite outdoor activity might happen to be. If enough people request it, babysitting at the fields will be available and we will have massage therapists on site. Tournament fee is $35 this year, which includes camping, everything listed above, plus field food, a disc and the official t-shirt of whichever team you end up on, to wear for the tournament and keep afterwards.
Info is subject to change. More details to be posted as Trent makes them available. For reals.
