Time for an update,
Diskapital XI has been locked in for the 10th and 11th of January and organising has begun. Diskapital is Canberra's annual 'hat' tournament, which started back in 1997 I believe. (We missed a year) It attracts players from across the country to Canberra for a relax weekend of frisbee and good times. We usually have between 80-100 players but have reached into the dizzy heights of over 140 players in the past.
For those that are unfamiliar with a 'hat' tournament, instead of registering as a team, players register as individuals. The whole player base is then divided into rough skill brackets and the teams are picked from a notional 'hat' to randomly form the teams. All the teams will be roughly balanced, so the challenge is to get your team to 'gel' together before the others and take out the title! Its a great venue to meet players from outside your team in the Canberra league or from frisbee communities outside of Canberra.
The weekend should cost under $50 for fields, food, party, insurance and all the frisbee you can get your hands on. Hat tournaments were the way that I was really introduced to frisbee as a teenager and they really opened my eyes to some of the great aspects of our sport.
You can see the sorts of categories of players at the registration page:

Of course, you need to be an AFDA member to access the online registration. If you are having any problems or have other queries about the tournament, please email me at: thomasgabriel [dot] watson [at] gmail [dot] com
In other news, our development clinics for this league have kicked off. We are seeking more participants and more senior players to help out after league on Tuesdays, from 7:30pm. They will run until the end of league in 5 weeks time.
Despite a brief technical stoppage with the lights last night, we had a good short sharp session which focused on throwing. These clinics are a great way to get some tips on your technique, sharpen up with some practice for league and get the skills needed to play at club-level tournaments.
Anyone that has played league and has a basic understanding of ultimate is welcome to attend at 7:30pm, Dickson fields on Tuesday nights.
