Get Your Hats Out!
Announcing the Triumphant Return:
July 26, 2008, 10am, Rockland:
Hidcoast Mat: Volume IV!
After ten long, cold, and arduous months anxiously awaiting the return of that Midcoast Ultimate Hat Tournament know as Hidcoast Mat, oh purveyors of the beauty of disc, Volume IV is upon us!
A quick recap of last summer: Hidcoast Mat began last summer and had three successful incarnations, Volumes I, II, and III. Approximately 80-100 players in all from Massachusetts to Bar Harbor and all over central and southern Maine represented!
About the tourney: a hat tournament is a sort of pickup tourney. Players of absolutely every skill level are encouraged to come (And we mean absolutely every skill level). Every brings a hat (extra ridiculous ones are appreciated) and throws it in a big bag. Hats are drawn from the bag to select the teams for the day. Play proceeds in a round-robin format, with breaks for feeding barbecue style, playing ridiculous ultimate games, and potentially also naps in the grass. Remember hats must be worn at all times during play. A hat that falls off mitigates a turnover at Hidcoast Mat, unless caught by a team-member (heroic measure are encouraged to save fallen hats). Much fun is had by all.
The discs will fly high on Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 10am in Rockland. The field (with at this point 98.4% probability – if this changes I will be in touch) will be Kenniston Field, which is located on Old County Road in Rockland, right next to the old MBNA building, about a quarter mile south of the intersection of Old County Road and Route 17 (googlemap: http://tinyurl.com/6ldvjo).
We'll be having a barbecue continuing the Hidcoast Mat tradition – a word to that: we'll send around a hat (a cool one) at the beginning of the day and then run out to get food supplies – so a few dollars for the barbecue fund from each player would be fantastic. No tourney fee! Just donations for the food. AND/OR if you have any delicious veggies for the burgers or salads or wish to attempt making a Soufflé, all these things would also be greatly appreciated.
Bring a (crazy) hat and a few bucks for the barbecue! Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! Tell your pets! Tell your friendly local convenience stores! Be in touch with any questions! Let's make Hidcoast Mat Volume IV the biggest best and craziest yet!
And stay tuned and get geared up for Volume V in mid-August!
