Two-Hat Tournament Director Matt Smith.
The Tasmanian Two-Hat is a two day Ultimate tournament organised by the TUA. The Two-Hat is traditionally held on the second weekend in October, with teams being drawn out of a hat (well kind of). The first Two-Hat Tourney was held in October 1999. From Two-Hat V, Friday evening disc golf has also featured in the festivities.
A fairly complete history of past Two-Hats is available.
Two-Hat X will be held as a two day tournament for the first time, on 11th-12th October, 2008. Registration is now open!
This is a mixed hat format tourney so we welcome all skill levels, including complete beginners. This tournament is played under WFDF rules with a couple of minor local variations, listed under the heading Two-Hat specific rules.

Online registration is now available for Two-Hat X! You can now check your registration details registration details including whether we have your money, meal preferences, your t-shirt size request. Don't expect updates to this page to occur in real time - although we do our best!
To register, click here and fill our the registration form.Registration payment (which includes AFDA fees), can be paid (in order of our preference) by (i) electronic transfer of funds, (ii) cash or (iii) cheque. In 2008, if you register and pay by September 12 it costs $80, or $100 by October 3. After this time, it costs $110 or $120, depending on when you get your money to us! This is a small tournament - we want to know if you are playing in advance so we can organise it appropriately, so we give you financial incentives to register early! If you register and can't play, refunds are available, at the discretion of the TD, but you better have a note from your mother, or a very good excuse. More details are available on payment options.
AFDA membership (covering you for this event only) is now included in the tournament fee. To ensure we are covered by insurance, you need to supply a valid AFDA number. More details are available on AFDA membership structure and fees.
As of January 1 2008, the AFDA reinstituted Personal Injury Insurance as part of their insurance policy. Given that claims to the AFDA's personal injury insurance have a maximum pay out of $1,500, it has been agreed by the AFDA board that the Members' Compassionate Fund will continue to operate in 2008 in order to provide additional compensation for big injury claims. The current low insurance prices are unlikely to last beyond the medium term, in which case the AFDA will revert to using the Member Compassionate Fund as the primary vehicle to assist our members in financial need.
Preliminary player information on Two-Hat X, including information on the tourney start time, fields, disc golf, party details, the game schedule and more is now available at the Two-Hat X information for registered players link. This will be updated as more information becomes available.
