The playing fields for Two-Hat IX.
The Tasmanian Two-Hat is a one day Ultimate tournament organised by the TUA and University of Tasmania Ultimate Frisbee Club, and it used to be the smallest tournament in Australia. Teams are drawn out of a hat (well kind of) and the Two-Hat is held in Hobart, every year, traditionally on the second Saturday in October. 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 IX will be held on the now traditional 2nd Saturday in October, which falls on October 13 in 2007. Registration is now open! You can expect something similar to the Two-Hat VIII format, with a change in venue from Two-Hat VII and VIII.

Registration has now been capped at 8 teams and 80 players and we are very close to this player cap now. Any players who register after the player cap has been reached will be placed on a waiting list, and will only be able to play if others pull out of the tournament. Given the demand for places at this year's tournament, please let us know as soon as possible if you have to pull out (especially if you are hoping for a refund)!

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 2007, if you register and pay by August 31 it costs $45, or $60 by September 28. In October it costs $65 or $70, 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 in August! 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 built in to 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 March 15th, 2005, Personal Injury Insurance is no longer offered through the Australian Flying Disc Association membership fees but in its place the AFDA now operates a Members' Compassionate Fund. In addition the AFDA also has 3 Member Protection Officers, should you have any issues that may need an MPO, and AFDA membership offers the following Member Benefits.
