IC Quidditch Tryouts ’88
Once again, tryouts for the House Quidditch Teams will be carried out via thread! OOC, tryouts will all be held from Wednesday, August 29th to Sunday, September 9th, however IC they will be as follows:
- GRYFFINDOR: Friday, September 7th, evening [Live!]
- HUFFLEPUFF: Saturday, September 8th, morning [Live!]
- RAVENCLAW: Saturday, September 8th, afternoon [Live!]
- SLYTHERIN: Sunday, September 9th, morning [Live!]
For anyone concerned or curious here is an example from back when Castor Allaway was white xD
As of today, all positions, regardless of vacation date, require tryouts to claim them. Any position vacant after tryouts will be made available in the usual fashion, though you will not be able to take up a position you tried (and failed) to get with the same character. Please note that female beaters and first year students may only claim posts through tryouts. Currently, the available positions are:
Chaser II
Beater II
Keeper
Seeker
HUFFLEPUFF:
Chaser II
Chaser III
Beater I
Beater II
RAVENCLAW:
Chaser III
Keeper
SLYTHERIN:
Chaser II
Chaser III
Keeper
The list will be updated accordingly should more slots become available after the September Activity Check.
Please be advised: We do not allow players to hold more than one chaser/beater position on the same team. We also discourage, but don’t forbid, players holding more than one keeper or seeker.
Please post below with the following form from the appropriate account. Female students are required to get consent of a guardian; see below for further details. Students of any year are invited to sign up, however their age will factor into their modifier—a second year’s chance will not be as strong as that of a seventh year. They must also be sorted prior to signing up.
Students currently holding a position are not required to try out. Those who do so, or who try out for a different position on their team, forfeit their right to their current spot. You may try out for multiple positions, though this will require multiple forms and multiple posts in the tryout thread.
Signups close at 11:59pm EST on September 7th. You’re eligible to post in your tryout thread as soon as it’s available and I’ve “liked” your post here!
