What is a Hat Tournament?

A hat tournament is open to all players, names are put into a 'hat' and teams are drawn out randomly. In practice, we'll shuffle players around a bit to try and make the teams as fair as possible. Hat tournaments are great fun, and a great way to play with new players and make new friends.
