>One boy from our school who is training for the junior world championships
>this year was turned away from the Exeter Hat tournament last weekend.

Why would anyone (let alone the rare schoolboy ultimate player) be turned
away from a hat tourney?! In my days as a beginner (yes, I can still
remember them), hat tourneys were a valuable source of experience, allowing
me to play with gods/goddesses (they probably don't remember who they are)
and get to know my peers (this is especially valuable for beginners who
cannot otherwise play with experienced players).. I presume such events
still have a beginner's category-- so why should age matter?
