The new roster of Officials has been chosen, and they will be announced (hopefully!) tomorrow morning. I'm currently working on big project that will help our new Officials with their new jobs.
Also, as the Tri-Wizard Tournament is nearing, here are a few reminders...
The schedule will be as follows:
Tentative schedule
August 1st, 12:00 AM EST - First game begins (timed challenge)
August 2nd, 12:00 PM EST - First game ends, second begins
August 5th, 12:00 PM EST - Second ends, third begins
August 8th, 12:00 PM EST - Third ends, fourth begins
August 11th, 12:00 PM EST - Fourth ends, fifth opens
August 14th, 12:00 PM EST - Fifth ends, Yule ball begins
August 16th, 12:00 PM EST - Sixth opens
August 19th, 12:00 PM EST - Sixth closes, seventh opens
August 22th, 12:00 PM EST - seventh ends, eighth opens
August 25th, 12:00 PM EST - eighth ends, ninth opens
August 28th, 12:00 PM EST - ninth ends
Sept. 1st, 12:00 PM EST - close of TWT
As one of our challenges will be timed, it will also be posted to the Judges community as a public post, so that should one community be unable to post it, the members will have that chance. If you don't see the contest here at the scheduled time, you can check
3wizardjudges!
The Rules have also been released, and are as follows...
General
1. We know that in the books, cheating is a part of the Triwizard Tournament. However, in our tournament, it will not be tolerated. If caught cheating, your headmistress or headmaster will punish you as s/he sees fit.
2. Members may review their submissions with each other as long as they are not posted where the judges might see them -- which means you may not post it here or in any various communities.
3. The champion for each contest will be awarded 50 house points. Each entry will be awarded 10 points.
Submitting
1. You will submit your entry only to Bunny by commenting in the screened comments with your entry.
2. The Mod(s) will choose the best entry to move on for judging.
Judging
1. All the entries will then be submitted to the other six judges for voting.
3. In the event of a tie, the three heads will also vote on the entries.
Winners
1. Winners will be announced and a running tally of points will be kept in the userinfo of
3wizardjudges.
2. A first place entry will earn the winner's community 30 points; a second place is worth 20; and 3rd is worth 10.
3. The winner of a contest will earn 50 points in addition to the 50 for being the winner from their community -- totalling 100.
Remember!! Everyone is allowed to enter, and the winner will be put up against the other two winners from our competing communities. But there is a side note -- if you a member of two or more of these communities, you may not enter with multiple loyalties. If you make an entry for a contest here, you may not enter there -- the whole way through. In case anyone needs to know, the communities are
hogwarts_ch and "House Sorting" on Greatest Journal.
Until tomorrow!
