Crescent City Institute - October 4th, 2011

Students,

There has been some dedicated planning in the works through the summer months, and now that things are finalized, it is our pleasure to make this announcement. We would like to welcome the return of Strife!

For those who are not familiar, Strife used to be held here at the Crescent City Institutue back before the Vietnam War. It was stopped for a time, but we have decided that now is the time to bring the tournament back to the school. Some details about Strife are:

1) This is a school wide tournament. Participants are to pair up with the other student of their choice in order to participate. Only two students per team please, and no solo entries will be accepted.

2) You have to be a Sophomore or above, regardless of age, in order to ensure that you have the proper grounding in the basic spellwork necessary, and you may not be on Academic Probation currently.

3) The games will begin on Halloween night at 9:00 in the Commons when the Headmistress will announce the start.

4) Strife includes feats of endurance, spellwork, maneuvering, riddles, strategy, wandwork and critical thinking. These events will last the school year and will be spaced out in order to ensure that all participants will be able to keep up with their regular school work and all extracurricular activities, including Quidditch and Quodpot.

Prizes will be announced on Halloween Night, but will include such things as House Points, Galleons, a Cruise, badges for your robes, and many other things.

Students have until October 30th at Midnight to sign up on the board outside of the Headmistress’ Office. Both students in a team must be entered at the same time.

Good Luck to all who enter!

[[OOC: If you have any questions for the headmistress, please respond here in character. Any questions for the mods? You know where to find us!]]
