IC Quidditch Tryouts ’94
Once again, tryouts for the House Quidditch Teams will be carried out via thread! OOC, tryouts will all be held from August 27th to September 10th, however IC they will be as follows:
- GRYFFINDOR: Friday, September 13th, evening [Thread is Live!]
- HUFFLEPUFF: Saturday, September 14th, morning [Thread is Live!]
- RAVENCLAW: Saturday, September 14th, afternoon [Thread is Live!]
- SLYTHERIN: Sunday, September 15th, morning [Thread is Live!]
All threads will be started by the team captain in question, however will be judged using a modified die roll system similar to that for duels and for previous quidditch tryouts. On September 16th just before dinner, the rosters will be posted on the school bulletin board. Students will not only need to beat their competition, but the minimum score set for their position by the staff team in order to gain the spot. It sounds a lot more intense than it actually is xD
For anyone concerned or curious here is an example from a previous year.
As of August 27th, 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 first year students may only claim posts through tryouts, and female beaters must also earn the post through tryout. Currently, the available positions are:
Chaser
Chaser
HUFFLEPUFF:
Chaser
Beater
Beater
Seeker
RAVENCLAW:
Chaser
Chaser
Beater
Keeper
SLYTHERIN:
Chaser
Chaser
Beater
Beater
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 10:59pm EST on September 13th. You’re eligible to post in your tryout thread as soon as it’s available and I’ve “liked” your post here!
