At DA, we're trying to expand on the sports offered. Quidditch, of course, is here, but we are also working to include other broomstick sports. We're taking them from the book, "Quidditch Through the Ages" and interpreting them so that we may play them online.
Quidditch
This is the biggest sport we have here at DA. Quidditch is open to everyone in the community. Team members are not added in the middle of a match, but we will announce openings when we're ready to fill them so if you keep an eye out, you can get on your house team.
Each Quidditch match lasts three weeks, wherein each team member must complete a task that will be judged by the Head and Deputy Head. Consider what each position's task is related to when choosing your position:
Keeper: Theory/Discussion
Seeker: Trivia
Beater: Graphics
Chaser: Writing
Weekly updates of scores are given in the main community, and final scores are announced at the end of each match. We do reserve spots for those who ask, so if you would like to be on a team, but your position isn't open, give us an email and we'll be sure you get the spot if/when it opens.
sorting: 5 points each
When you sort someone your house gets five points per vote/sort.
referrals: 5 points each
If you refer someone to the community, and they put it in their application, your house gets five points.
weekly question: 5 points each
Every Saturday, we will ask an opinion question, and if you answer it then your house gets five points.
discussion topics: 5-10 points
When you bring up a discussion topic in the main community, you will receive ten points. All people who comment to it will receive five points.
graphics: points vary
When you make icons or banners that are not related to any event that we have announced, you can receive points. We'll usually give 1 point per icon or 5 points per banner. However, if the icons/banners look very similar (same design - one for each house), we may give less. It really depends on what you submit.
