Quidditch Match 1 - Mid-Match Update!

Let's Go, Ravenclaw Chasers!

Quidditch Match 1 is off to a roaring start as Gryffindor has surged into the lead.  The other Houses are very close, with Ravenclaw trailing the pack in fourth place -- though I am totally sure that many of the diligent Chasers of Ravenclaw are working on high yardage projects that won't be finished until later in the match.

There is still plenty of time to score!  This match stays open until midnight POT at the close of Sunday, September 17.  The assignment: craft something you would need to survive in the countryside, or something to tame or restrain a magical creature.  Here are our best strategy tips:

Short and sweet:  22 base points!  Crank out a quick scrubby or hexipuff and take those points to Gringotts.

Go for the yardage:  this is a Ravenclaw specialty.  Take those 22 base points and add yardage bonus (same formula as used in classes). Beautiful!

Awesomeness bonus also applies, so put some thought into a creative photo and story.

Non-rav crafts accepted!

If using the magical creature option, be sure to research here.  The referees will want to be sure that you did not fall asleep in CoMC class!

SOAR EAGLES!  Do it for Mother Rowena!

Thank you greenheron for that update!

Sunday Quidditch - Early Edition

Welcome, Ravenclaw Quidditch fans!  It's the first day of the first match of the Term, and Ravenclaw chasers are already on the job!

Marruknits, Rosimoto, and winemakerssister were first onto the pitch, scoring goals for their neat frogging and repair skills.  Way to Soar!

Rosimoto frogged a scarf and also her first failed OWL, painful I know, but it can be freeing!

Marruknits frogged two scarves to use the yarn to knit something new. Way to reuse, reduce, recycle!

winemakerssister frogged a scarf, and also did a lovely repair job:

This Term's Quidditch offers a bit of a change, a chance to learn some Mediwizardry, which is a great opportunity to stretch our skills and also practice some SCIENCE FOR THE WIN!!!

We can't wait to see what our other Chasers come up with -- will you help with cleaning up or making bandages, practice first aid by mending some well-loved handknits, or call it a day and frog an item and reskein the yarn to be used again?  Be sure to visit the Ravenclaw Locker Room for further details and Match-specific information and helpful FAQs. Remember your Tags that must be used - RQ23T for the first Match, and How to Turn In Quidditch, which this Term is a Map of the Wards. We don't want any disqualifications!

For those who played last term, remember: Quidditch this term is NOT cumulative. You may play in any or all matches, regardless of whether you scored in an earlier match.


We worked very hard to win the Quidditch cup last term, now let's keep it on the Tower mantle, where it belongs.

Soar, Ravenclaw!  

SCIENCE FOR THE WIN!!!
