Tryouts run from May 23rd to the 27th, from 3:30pm until dinner time. Some coaches may have students return after dinner for callbacks.
Students interested in trying out for Quodpot and Quidditch are invited to the pitches on the day designated for their house. Tryouts usually consist of several tests run by the coach and his or her current assistant; each tryout varies depending on the coach.
Current team members must tryout again to regain their spots on the team. Seniors and university students are ineligible to tryout. Students are invited to sit in the stands and watch tryouts, but coaches may bar rowdy students if they get out of hand.
Results of the tryouts will be posted in that house's main lounge or be sent out via w-mail at the discretion of the team coach.
[OOC Bits: jump in on a day your student would try out, or if you'd like your characters to offer running commentary from the stands. Anyone can play the coaches, or ask someone else to play them against your characters]

The first test consisted of a flying course through floating hoops set to make a ringing sound once someone flew through the middle.
The second was a simple passing exercise he'd run between the students to see how they worked as a team.
The third test was for each student to play their preferred position in a short pick up game. The fourth test was to play in a position that Walsh felt they were better suited for.
The final test was to stand with a quod in their hand until it exploded. Walsh had charmed these particular quods to have gentler explosions; the test was to see how squeamish the students were and how they'd handle themselves in a pressure situation.
It would take him most of the afternoon to sort out those who were strong enough and those who needed another year to get it together.
