WHAT:
We are back with LAOUT’s 25th Annual St. Pat’s Hat Tournament! The St. Pat’s Hat tradition was started by Mo way back in 1995. St. Pat’s is a 2 day coed hat tournament (each player signs up as an individual and is assigned to a team for the weekend). You must pre-register, pre-pay and bring your Irish cheer in order to play.
WHY:
To help spread the fun of Ultimate with old and new friends. And to celebrate a LAOUT institution older than even Summer League!
WHEN:
Saturday & Sunday March 16th & 17th, 2019. Registration from 8:30-9:00am on Saturday. Games start at 9:30am and run until 4:30pm on Saturday. Games are expected to start at 10am on Sunday.

*MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT – Players must be 14 years or older to play.
SCHEDULE:
Most important! Don’t forget your most creative hats!!!
RULES:
- Footblocks are totally legal, except when marking Andy Bandit.
- Games to 13. Mirror half at 7. Win by 2. Cap at 15.
- Soft Cap. Signaled by one horn. Finish current point then play to the highest score +2.
- Hard cap. Signaled by two horns ten minutes later. Finish current point then only continue playing if the score is tied.
- One timeout per half plus one floater, no timeouts during overtime. Overtime begins at 10-10. Time outs are 90 seconds.
- The fields should be regulation size, so a brick is 20 yards.
- You may substitute up to two players during a time-out.
- SPECIAL HAT RULE 1: You are not an offensive player without your hat on your head. If your hat falls off, you are now just a very tall blade of grass. You can still get a D without your hat on, but make sure not to catch your D’s unless your hat is on your head, or else it’s an instant turnover.
EXTRAS:
Make sure to bring your most creative hats!!! You are welcome to wear a simple baseball hat but that is LAME so step up your game!
ACCURACY CONTEST:
We will be having an accuracy contest available during your bye rounds. Report your scores to frisbee central to be eligible for a sweet prize.
PARTY:
Pick up drink and food tickets at the door.
REFUND POLICY:
Full refund will be given to anyone who cancels their registration on or prior to February 22nd, 2019. No refund will be given after that.
REGISTRATION:
After March 7th, you can only sign up for the waitlist and wait for a spot to open up for you. We will inform you if we can accommodate you, but we cannot guarantee a shirt for you (meaning 90% you won’t get one). There will be an extra $5 fee if you sign up and get accepted after March 7th. You can come day of and we can try to get you on a team, but again no guarantees and the extra $5 will be in effect.
