I am seeking a new Captain for Tutshill Tornadoes as your summer captain had to step down to focus on other things.
Please comment below if you are interested in being a Captain for this team. You would be responsible for maintaining the sub and the official roster, and informing your teammates of any news. You will also be given access to your team's personal gameboard to run practices through.
Also you'll get to decide if you want to stick with my mispelling Tornado sub or if you want to transfer to /r/Tutshill_Tornadoes ...
Well, we didn't win the final, but we made a gosh darn good stab at it. I'm proud of all who were able to participate.
After some technical difficulties, The Harpies won the first round, but we came back to win it in an intense second round. But the Harpies came out and won the third round.
A full match summary can be found at World Cup Central
I would also like to take this time to announce that due to life circumstances, I am going to step down as captain. That doesn't mean the end of the team at all! And if anybody is interested in being a captain themselves keep an eye out at /r/Quidditch_World_Cup for an announcement, and let me know and I can put in a good word for you.
There's also a discussion regarding next season where you can volunteer to referee matches and do commentary. You can check that out here.
In 2 very close rounds, the Tutshill Tornados defeated the Barrenheim Behrs!
As a result, we will be going onto the finals and playing the Holyhead Harpies.
They may have only played one match, but they are fierce competition.
I want as many of you there as possible!
This afternoon we played two rounds against the Quiberon Quafflepunchers and won. The Quafflepunchers played an excellent game and I'm sorry to see them go.
The match summary will be up at /r/Quidditch_World_Cup soon. is now up!
Meanwhile, we will be moving on to the Semifinals!
The semifinal match will be against the Barrenheim Behrs at a time to be announced.
So keep an eye out for that announcement.
Congratulations again team, on winning our first match!
Our first match is next week everybody! Get pumped!
#The match is scheduled to start at 3pm/1500 EDT(UTC-4) On the World Cup Pitch
We have a half hour window to begin in, so if you know you're going to be late, let me know! So we don't start without you.
If you haven't gotten acquainted with the pitch yet for whatever reason LET ME KNOW when you're available! and I can meet with you.
Availability Request for Match 4 QQ vs TT Tuesday August 4th
You have all been invited to participate in Match 4, Quibberon Quafflepunchers vs Tutshill Tornados!
Please fill out THIS form with your availability on that date.
If you aren't available for that date, please submit your name anyways.
If you would prefer I host the game on an alternate day, please say so in the comments here.
I will be posting the official times for Match 4 on Tuesday July 28th, in /r/Quidditch_World_Cup.
The Head of Magical Games and Sports is hosting an open practice in #TheStands for anybody interested this Sunday, starting at 10AM CDT (UTC-5).
The open practice will be about 5 hours, and will end before the Match between the Chudley Cannons and Berrenheim Behrs, which I encourage you all to watch!
If you haven't been to a practice yet, I highly encourage you to go and stick around as long as you can; it's more fun if there are more people.
#PRACTICE WILL BE ON SUNDAY!
3pm/1500 EDT(UTC-4)
Thank you if you showed up to practice last night, we got to walk-through how the game works and clear up a few questions.
I want to have another one this Saturday if possible, but Sunday is also an option (Saturday's can be a bit spontaneous in my house.)
##So keep an eye on this page!
We're finally going to have our first practice! Hooray!
Right now, I'm thinking Tuesday at 7:00pm (1900) UTC-4
Convert if needed here.
Let me know if Tuesday works for you; If not, let me know what day would work better.
Edit: K9 is also hosting an open practice tomorrow! Starting 1pm UTC-5.I'll be there as well.
I was originally thinking Thursday and/or Friday, but I realise that it's a holiday in the US, so Friday especially might not be the best time, and Thursday might not be great due to the short notice.
But if either of those would work better for everybody I can do those instead of or in addition to Tuesday.
Hey guys!
You all have my sincerest apologies.
I haven't been the most active lately. Real life got in the way and I lost 3 weeks where I wasn't really online, this has been my first real chance.
I have a few people I need to contact in the morning and then I'd like to work on scheduling some practices so that we can learn our way around the board and what works best for us.
I hope you've been keeping an eye on /r/Quidditch_World_Cup in the meantime.
Our first trio of matches is August 8th against the Quafflepunchers, exact time (and possibly date) will be worked out as we approach the date.
Apologies again, I hope to get things going in the next week, somebody nudge me if I don't. :P
Thanks for the understanding.
Captain, /u/SecretSquirrel_
I haven't been around as much as I should. Sorry for that.
I got a bit of internet burnout and took a few days off to recenter myself. My personal life also got rather busy, which contributed.
#On to Quidditch!
If you've been to /r/Quidditch_World_Cup recently (which I encourage you to check at least once a week) there's a new post about scheduling from the Head of Magical Games and Sports.
A new schedule has been made up to account for differences in team sizes:
TEAMS | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 & 2 | Sun 7/5 | Fri 8/14 | Thur 9/3 | |
3 & 4 | Wed 7/15 | Fri 8/14 | Thur 9/3 | |
5 & 6 | Sat 7/25 | Mon 8/24 | Thur 9/3 | |
7 & 8 | Tue 8/4 | 8/24 | Thur 9/3 |
We are currently in the 7 & 8 Slot.
We will be playing the amazing Quiberon Quafflepunchers sometime around Tuesday, August 4th (scheduling is flexible within a few days.)
If anybody wants to walk through how the game works, leave a message down below and we can work out a good time to do that.
It'd be awesome if we could get everybody together for a run through as well and start working on some strategy.
See you on the pitch,
Squirrel
