Greetings and salutations to all you quidditch fans!!!

The Ravenclaw Quidditch Team is having an up-and-down term.  We were first place in Match 1, then in Match 2 took second place in a real squeaker, only two points ahead of third place.  Overall, our Quidditch points still look good, thanks to our valiant chasers, but the other teams are starting to breathe down our necks.

Here is Match 3 as of last night:

Congratulations to those who have already scored, and those already hard at work!  For the rest of us, it's time to rally for dear old Ravenclaw.  Soar on over to the pitch and put a quaffle through the hoop!

Match 3 is fun.  We're learning about Godric Gryffindor and his bravery.  He was also a very fair wizard, always welcoming to muggle-born witches and wizards.  He refused to fight muggles with his wand, but always used his sword instead.

There are two big choices to make in choosing your project for Match 3.  First, Ravelry craft or a non-Ravelry craft that uses a needle.  For those of you who love sewing, embroidery, or other needle based activities, take a look at option 2.  You must find a relationship between your project and Godric's fair treatment of both muggles and muggle-born magical folk.  This option earns 10 base points.

For Ravelry crafts, take option 1.  Your project must be a difficult pattern OR a new skill OR something related to Godric.   And then comes the second big choice - go for the yardage bonus, or keep it small.  20 base points here, so small is a very viable choice.  Or, go big and earn the same yardage bonus as you would for a class. Your Quidditch staff loves to help students come up with good stories, so don't hesitate to visit the the Ravenclaw Quidditch thread for ideas.

Awesomeness bonus points are available for all options and prompts.  And always remember to explain how your project fits the prompt.  Give your explanation, and sell, sell, sell it.

Hurrah for Quidditch!!!!  Hope to see you on the pitch!!!!!

Thank you to greenheron and freemiki for this Match 3 update!
