The Witch's Hat

About: 
  

Hat tournaments are common on the Ultimate scene. They are tournaments where players join individually rather than as a team. The tournament organisers form teams by randomly taking the names of the participants from a "hat". Teams are pulled out of a 'hat' but are balanced so that there is a range of players from beginners just starting to play through to experienced Ultimate players.

Hat tournaments have a strong emphasis on having fun and meeting other players. Players of all levels take part in such events from world-class players to complete beginners. Hat tournaments often have a theme and the Witch's Hat is no different, this event falls on the last weekend of October giving a Halloween theme for participants.
The Witch's Hat event was created and originally conducted by Rusty Slaughter and Waylon Parker and has continued annually since 2004.

The tournament is all about having fun, tapping into the Halloween theme and 100% about enjoying the spirit of the game.

 HALL OF FAME

The player pathway is designed to give every person entering the game the chance to go as far as they possibly can within the sport. There is a clear pathway for juniors entering the game, which provides a structure for those who are talented and committed enough to reach the top levels of the game. 

The player pathway is designed to give every person entering the game the chance to go as far as they possibly can within the sport. In order to achieve this, WA Ultimate has brought together the many strands of the game in a visual example to demonstrate how levels intertwine.  This approach is designed to create a transition for players as they develop and mature. The pathway is divided into ten key areas with examples of playing opportunities listed below. Download your own copy here.

Risk management is about being aware of what may happen within the Association's activities and taking steps to limit the chances of it occurring. Risk is not necessarily harmful on its own but left unaddressed it can have a significant negative impact on an Association. The Western Australian Flying Disc Association's Risk Management Plan is in place to identify and assess potential risks for our community and to then monitor and minimize the probability and/or impact those risks could pose.
