<p>Anyone that posts after this, you will be assigned a school as soon as we are able (most likely over the weekend)!</p>
<p>Before you all go off and start creating your characters, I wanted everyone to know that special abilities have been suspended for the tournament. This means no one will be able to have a special ability during the event. So if you have been assigned to Hogwarts and your character normally has a special ability, you will not be able to use it to your advantage for the tournament. We would like everyone to be on an even playing field, especially our champions. If it will be an issue for you to play your character without using their special ability, we highly suggest creating a new character without an ability. Anyone caught using a special ability during roleplay activities that yield points will be considered cheating and will no longer be able to earn points from roleplay activities. Once the tournament is over and we return to Hogwarts, you will be able to use special abilities again.</p>
<p>Speaking of champions, keep an eye out for more information on the champion selecting process soon!
Just wanted to re-post this from TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT - School Preference/Sign Up so that it's where everyone can see!
Hi everyone!
I have some good news and some bad news.
Good news is that we are ready to begin the champion selecting process! From now until July 5th, you will need to work as a group with your school to nominate up to 5 champions to enter their name into the Goblet of Fire. Threads will be going up shortly in each school's forum group so you can discuss who you would like to nominate. You will be able to ping me to the thread once your school has chosen their champion candidates. Please do NOT post them here!
On July 8th, the Goblet of Fire will choose 2 champions from each school's candidates!
Some things to consider when choosing champions:
- Champions, once decided, cannot be changed.
- Champions must be ACTIVE during the tournament. There will be challenges that will be champion-specific, so your champions will need to participate in order for your school to earn points.
- A majority of the champion-specific challenges will be roleplay based. So choose a strong roleplayer!
For anyone who was assigned a school but missed their invite to their forum group, please let me or know as soon as possible and we will add you!
Please note that we will not be utilizing Prefects this term. While we hope that champions will take on a leadership role for their school, it is not strictly necessary or required. If your school would collectively like to appoint someone to maintain any bulletin boards, contests, etc., then it will be up to your school to decide.
Bad news is that we unfortunately need to postpone starting the tournament until July 14th. We had originally hoped to begin the tournament this coming Saturday, however that is no longer possible due to some unfortunate circumstances. July 14th, however, will definitely be the start date, rain or shine!
I am in the process of putting together a tournament information/FAQ/rule thread that I am hoping to have up soon. Until then, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into this!!! It is going to be amazing :)

Just a reminder, all three houses need to submit their 2-5 champion candidates by 11:59PM tomorrow!
I do not believe that I have been invited into the ping group for my school - but I am not 100% sure (can't figure out how to check due to not knowing the ping group name lol).
Also, thank you for the hard work and effort you are putting into this tournament - I am really thrilled about how it will turn out.

The Triwizard Tournament has officially begun! Later today we will be posting the first activity for you all to complete. Good luck to all three schools!
If you have yet to be assigned to a school, please post on the sign up thread as soon as possible, as you won't be able to earn points until you are assigned.
Hi everybody! Due to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, we will be extending the Triwizard Tournament for an extra 2 weeks. The end date for the term will be September 30th.
Those r great news- I really hope to be able to finish the term. Still don't know what will happen but tomorrow it hit us here in Puerto Rico. I hope I can get back without problems but if I disappear know it's because of that and not being able to log in.
Blessings to all being affected as well.
Thanks for being so thoughtful.
Hoping for the best for everyone in the storm's path.
Sending my prayers and love to all that were affected by the storm, stay safe and take care! ^-^
I'm praying for those in the path of the storms as well. I have family getting out of the way of Irma and sincerely hope that everyone stays safe.Take care everyone!
Be safe! You've done an amazing job and Hogwarts is proud of you. Now please, please, keep yourself and your family safe :)

I'm safe and well, no damages to my home thankfully. The hurricane moved a bit farther to the North and didn't affected us so bad. We are with no power pretty much all over the island so I really don't know when it will be restored. I'm on my phone now so I can't stay long.
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes! Anyone else in Irma's way stay safe and best of lucks.
