SWP 10: The Quidditch World Cup - Charming - July 20, 2020

Site-Wide Plot 10: The Quidditch World Cup

In a marvelous coup, Fitzroy Prewett managed to secure the Quidditch World Cup playoffs in none other than Irvingly! On July 30th, the Moroccan national quidditch team will arrive in England, having let a large residence at Sanditon Terrace for the team. The following month will be peppered with a series of events (some planned, some unintended) as we mark the second time in a decade that Charming has played host to international sporting glory!

Attending the Match

Attending the match is made affordable to all—though like many things in life, you get what you pay for. Seating can be found in both public and private boxes.

PUBLIC BOXES:

For only a sickle, working class individuals can snag themselves a seat in a box with five long benches, designed to fit seven bodies but ticketed as if they fit eight, are positioned one behind the other without any staging, making the frontmost bench the place to be. These are generally a bit below the level of play, causing a fair amount of neck-craning for those in attendance. The only food present is what's been brought in by spectators, and Merlin help you if you need the toilet.

For a galleon, those of the middle class can buy seat in a box just below or right at the level of play, with five padded benches seating six apiece have been staggered so that, barring a very tall individual, no views will be obscured. Your perks include a vanishing house for individuals to do thier business, and every so often, a scraggly-looking vendor will pop in with sweets for sale.

For four galleons, you can have a seat with other members of the upper class can purchase a seat in one of the plusher boxes, where individual cushioned chair[s] and complementary opera quidditch glasses provide an excellent view of the action. The discreet, plumbed bathroom is an added bonus, as is the small, never-ending spread of sandwiches, cakes, and punch in the corner. These boxes are all at the ideal altitude for viewing the game.

— available group threads —


PRIVATE BOXES:
Private boxes are both finite and pricey—more than merely multiplying the ticket cost by 20-30 seats in a box.. There are eight MC-calibre privates and ten UC-calibre ones available on a first come, first served basis. Private boxes are available first come, first served.

Moroccan Medley Educational Scrimmage

In part to expand the global quidditch community and in part to justify a month of festivities, the IQL has organized a scrimmage that intersperses Hogwarts quidditch players with members of the Moroccan national team as an educational opportunity (thoguh some Moroccans will be better teachers than others, one would assume). The match will take place at Sanditon Beach on August 9th; it is played, and will begin OOC that same day. The teams are...

RED TEAM
Chasers:  Madeline Bell, Calla Potts, Aziza Karim
Beaters:  Nelson Higgs, Ashiq Amin
Keeper: Jamal Selhim
Seeker:  Archelaus Abney
GREEN TEAM
Chasers: Hermia Bonaccord, Cameron Gillenwater, [—]
Beaters: Cadawalader Selwyn,  Karim Hassani
Keeper: Thomas Montgomery
Seeker: Shula Karim

Anyone interested in participating may post below with the appropriate form. Positions in [brackets] are for Moroccans, while all other positions are open to Hogwarts players. You do not choose your team, Satan does ;)
Show

One character per player per group (student/national) until August 7th, at which point you can flesh them out as needed! In addition, preference for 2nd string Moroccans until August 5th.

RE: SWP 10: The Quidditch World Cup - Cecily Gallivan - July 21, 2020

If they're not playing, they just do whatever they like xD Talk to the other second stringers to decide what the team is doing! :)

RE: SWP 10: The Quidditch World Cup - Benevolence Crouch - August 7, 2020

Morrocan second stringers/hangers on/family are invited to the Blackwood box - they can accept of reject as suits them.
