Sept. 4-6 Durango SKA Brewing HatRiverview Sports Complex, 2900 Mesa, Durango, COMap You can now pre-register for the Durango Hat at www.southwestultimate.com If you have never been to this tournament, ask somebody who has how much fun it is. If you have been before, it will be bigger and better than ever before. 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, a bonfire, and roasting marshmallows. 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. At this point, the 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. For the first 75 people, early registration is only $30 (we expect about 150 people this year). www.southwestultimate.com Another promo will go out about a week before the tournament with directions to the campground and party. Also, for everybody within driving distance of Denver, I will also be running a one day hat tournament in Evergreen, CO on August 23. Details on the website. |
