I've found some mention on another ozzy chess site of a "chess tournament" being held here next weekend.

The entry list is confirmed 8!!
Maybe some kind of joke I think

The numbskull organising it first got the dates wrong and then did'nt bother to distribute any entry forms so I guess it's no big surprise they got 8 entries.

I think I'll give this one a miss.
Anyone know if they ever have real tournaments down this way?

Yeah, chess administration in Tasmania can sometimes be lacking. Indeed, outside Victoria it seems to be wanting generally.

Tassie has one lamb brain chess personality in particular who spends much of his life posting on forums and angering older Tasmanians over 'crucially important' issues such as bat populations.

Anyway, if I get wind of a good (properly organized event) in Tasmania - I will certainly let you know.
