User blog:Ckohrs0221/Summer Expansion-- Quidditch World Cup Tournament!



For the IC Summer Expansion, we are doing an International Quidditch World Cup Tournament! In the books, we only saw the final game-- who's to say there wasn't a bracket going on the whole time?

The tournament will consist of 8 teams. The teams are:


 * 1) Holyhead Harpies (Wales, All-Female)
 * 2) Puddlemere United (England)
 * 3) Heidelberg Harriers (Germany)
 * 4) Ballycastle Bats (Northern Ireland)
 * 5) Fitchburg Finches (America)
 * 6) Thundelarra Thunderers (Australia)
 * 7) Patonga Proudsticks (Uganda)
 * 8) Toyohashi Tengu (Japan)

For this, we are bringing back the idea of expansion characters! For those of you who aren't aware of what this is... let me explain. This is a way for you to be involved with the expansion, but not create a permanent character. When the expansion is over, your character's time on the wiki is over, too. (Unless you grow attached, and want to keep them. Then by all means.)

The expansion will begin the first week of summer IC, so start planning! Ideally, we would have all 56 players. But I sort of doubt that will happen (but you could all surprise me. We'll see what happens! That may or may not be a challenge ). In the event that we don't fill out all of the teams, the GMs for the games will fill in where it's needed.

We will create pages for the games, as well as things like "Quidditch World Cup Grounds" and places for your characters who would be viewing the games to RP. :)

Team Sign-Ups will be here. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis. So when creating a character, in the forum (remember, these characters will all be adults), please designate a first and second choice for Quidditch position. We will do our best to honor your wishes, but please bear with us. You can create up to three players, but they must all be on different teams.

If you have a character already on one of the teams listed (I've seen a few chars floating around on Puddlemere and/or the Harpies I think) please owl me, and I'll get them on the list!

Stay tuned for more information about brackets and how game structure will work as things get closer! For now-- start thinking up characters! Surprise me, DARPians! Create all 56 players! ;)
