Dueling Tournament

Deck the halls with spells and jinxes, fa la la la la, la la, la la! Let's get... festive? With a Hogwarts dueling tournament! We will be running a student & faculty tournament this time around. All duels will take place in Hogwarts' Great Hall, with no external spectators. The student tournament will take place on Saturday, December 10th while the Faculty tournament—no doubt some enterprising older student or another will set up some under-the-table gambling for that one!—will be conducted on Sunday, December 11th to afford their pupils some pre-Christmas entertainment.

IC, student characters can win some house points! OOC, players have an opportunity to earn some stamps! In addition to the Dueling '92 stamp—

—duel participation in general can help you earn these pretties—check out the stamps page for details:

IC RULES

1. All proper decorum must be observed, including bowing or curtsying to ones opponent at the open and close of the match.
2. During a duel, there shall be no physical contact of any sort between contestants. Should one contestant require assistance, then the match will be stopped by the official.
3. Excessive force must not be used. The purpose of the contest is to display strength and skill; it is not to injure or maim. Likewise, all spells used must be allowed under the law.
4. Creativity is encouraged; a match that consists merely of stunning and disarming is not enjoyable for the audience.

OOC RULES

1. Matches will be moderated by a member of the staff. Follow instructions by the IC moderator regarding who is to post. After both participants have posted once, wait for the moderator to post again before continuing.
2. Points will be given by the moderator based on an OOC modified dice roll. While commentary by the official is IC, the scoring is done in the fairest way possible.
3. Do not state how your action will end, but rather what is intended. That way, when the point is determined then you can post the results of your actions in a way that fits with the scoring.
4. If a participant does not post within three days [72 hours], they will be disqualified and the other participant wins the match.
5. Keep all spells age appropriate. A first year could not cast an Unforgivable (although that would get them disqualified anyway). If you are not sure if your character could cast a spell at their age, feel free to ask other members or the staff for opinions.

Assuming your character wants to enter, please post the appropriate form(s) below on or before December 3rd! No more than six duelists per player, please!

Duels will start OOC immediately following the Activity Check on December 4th.
