Student Quidditch Tryouts 1891

IC Quidditch Tryouts ’91

Once again, tryouts for the House Quidditch Teams will be carried out via thread!  OOC, tryouts will all be held from August 29th to September 10th, however IC they will be as follows: 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 the British National Tryouts. On September 12th 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 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 first year students may only claim posts through tryouts.  Currently, the available positions are:

GRYFFINDOR:
Beater
Beater
Keeper

HUFFLEPUFF:
Beater
Beater

RAVENCLAW:
Chaser
Chaser
Chaser
Beater
Beater

SLYTHERIN:
Chaser
Beater
Beater
Keeper
Seeker

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.

If you were previously a beater, you must try out again. This position was not available for the 1890/1891 school year, but will make its glorious return!

Signups close at 10:59pm EST on September 9th. You’re eligible to post in your tryout thread as soon as it’s available and I’ve “liked” your post here!

Code:
[b]Character Name:[/b]
[b]Year:[/b] For the 1891/1892 school year.
[b]House & Position:[/b]
[b]# Years on Team:[/b] If they’ve played House Quidditch before.

[b]Blood:[/b]
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]Dexterity:[/b] Poor, Average, Good
[b]Strength:[/b] Poor, Average, Good
[b]Build:[/b] See below.

There are five builds for you to choose from:
  • Big & Broad players stand at or above 5'9" (male)/5'4" (female) with a sturdy (or overweight) build.
  • Long & Lanky players stand above 5'9" (male)/5'4" (female) with an average or slim build.
  • Average players stand between 5'5" and 5'9" (male)/5' and 5'4" (female) with an average build.
  • Short & Stout players stand between 5'0 and 5'5" (male)/4'8" and 5'2" (female) with a sturdy (or overweight) build.
  • Small & Slender players stand between 5'0 and 5'5" (male)/4'8" and 5'2" (female) with a slim build.
If you're not sure but have a reasonably detailed description in your application, just leave a link in the build field! These are more guidelines than absolutes, so don’t be afraid to hit me up with any questions.

I PLAY A FEMALE
Female characters are asked to include the following at the bottom of their registration. Since parental consent is required IC, we require that you make the necessary arrangements OOC as well.

Code:
[i]Consent has been acquired from [IC Guardian], played by [Player]. I am aware that this consent can be withdrawn at any time, and that my character’s behaviour will also be taken into account as far as their continued participation on the team is concerned.[/i]


I PLAY AN INCOMING FIRST YEAR
As in years past, first years will be invited to try out this year!  Players of first years should, however, note that they will be at a fairly substantial disadvantage, and that only two first year, at maximum, will be permitted to play this season. Please be aware that you may not sign up or try out if you are not yet sorted, so please come back on September 1st to drop off your form :)




PMs on this account will not be checked.
Instead, please contact Ursula Black, Aldous Crouch, Cassius Lestrange, Elias Grimstone or Philomena Sprout with any questions, issues, or concerns.
