Welcome one and all! This is our first 'test scrimmage' match. Basically the point of this match is to decide the best play style for Quidditch. This is the 'Dice System'. This is a style similar to the mission and the dueling system.Basically, this is a system of chance and stats. BUT! For simplicity sake we will be ONLY using dice for the scrimmage. (If this style wins we'll introduce the stats!) So here are the steps of the game.

• Follow the posting order. I'll be sending out reminders of when your turn is coming up and also make sure you're still good to participate (in case anything comes up that might make it hard to post.)
• Each round will be a pair of players, one from each team, and they will 'face off', if you will. You'll write a post with your attempt to complete your action.
• Staff will roll a dice to determine who won the round. The winning action is what happened that round. 
• CHASERS: If your team is in possession of the quaffle, (but another chaser has it) you can take it from that other player and attempt to score the same turn. 
• KEEPERS: If your team is in possess of the  quaffle on your turn so no score attempt is happening, you can 'NPC' a score attempt. 
• BEATER: You will have access to 1 bludger on your turn. Use it how you will! (Yes. You can take out opposing players potentially! Review below for details!)
• Some rounds will have specific actions that need to happen. You'll know if you're in that round.
• The match will keep going until the end of the scrimmage match (3/11), so lets try to get as many rounds in as possible! 

Ideally I'd love for everyone to have two rounds to participate, so two chances to try this out. But, circumstances may change.  A few situations that will make things interesting:

• CHASERS: If you're dice roll is double your opponents roll that round and the opposing team has the quaffle you will steal AND score in the same turn!
• CHASERS: If you have the quaffle and your dice roll is double your opponents you will score Twice!
• KEEPERS: Any roll where you score higher then your opponent will result in your team stealing the quaffle (if you aren't in possession of it.). 
• KEEPERS: If your team has the quaffle and your dice roll is higher than your opponents then your team will score.
• BEATERS: Any roll where you score higher then your opponent will result in your team getting the quaffle.
• BEATERS: If your team has the quaffle and you roll higher then your opponent then your team scores.
• BEATERS: a double score roll will result in you knocking your target off their broom and out of the game!

The posting order will be:

The game was about to stop and Jace was so ready for this. He waited, feet on the ground, for the whistle to blow. He couldn't help but size up the people he saw around him. They all looked just as determined as he did and he was excited. This was going to be a good game. He didn't know the people he was playing with, but that didn't mean it wouldn't be fun. In fact, maybe he'd be able to make some friends or connect with some people on the field. That happened sometimes, when one was playing a game.

Finally he heard the whistle and Jace kicked off the ground hard, shooting up into the air and aiming straight for the Quaffle. That was his goal this game. He elbowed another player that was next to him- hopefully they weren't his teammate, he wasn't paying attention very well- and reached for the ball with his right hand. He was aimed toward the opposing team's hoops, ready to head straight there if he did actually get the ball.

THE heady scent of damp grass and cloying mud assaulted Tia's senses. Her feet planted on the ground, knees bent in anticipation as she waited for that initial whistle. Her eyes were glued to the circle which would release the Quaffle. Her one goal being to catch the bugger and catch it fast. She shifted her gaze only to try and spy her opponent, and that was exactly the moment the whistle blew. Tia cursed as she pushed off the ground and shot in to the air a half second after her opponent, spearing toward the ball as it was thrown a good height in the air. She came up under her opponent as they shot toward it, a foot worth of advantage.


Tia put her head down, flattening her front to the broom and jerking her behind upwards as she came up under her opponent with the intention of snapping the bottom of her broom against his, unknowingly jostling him and giving her a chance to regain a headstart and snatch the Quaffle from the air. One hand already reaching out as if to grab it right out from under him and spearheading her team's goal.

ROUND 2

Her eyes dart around, watching the game carefully - her body was vibrating with excitement, this was her element. She kept track of the bludger closely as she moved around, not wanting to allow one of her team mates to be hit by it - it was her job to make sure of that at least. But hey - if she could strike her opponant also - that could be a bonus - possibly avoiding a goal even. Of course, she didn't wish for someone to be injured though, at least not if she could help it. But it was a game, and the end goal was to try and win wasn't it?

She caught sight of movement, easily able to pick up on what it was going on and a small grin tugs at her lips as she moves her broom quickly, tucking her body close to the broom - moving faster before swinging her arm out, a loud crack able to be heard as she hits the bludger away from one of her team mates - and directly towards someone on the opposing team.

@cho
[Sorry for the delay ><]

Cho loved quidditch. It drove most of what she did. She had loved playing at Hogwarts, and she still loved it even now. She was a huge supporter of her teams, and as a professional she had a lot of experience. The feeling of the wind whipping through her long black hair, the sharpness of it on her cheeks, it all made her come alive.

Cho was disappointed when the other team scored within the first few minutes of the game. They were still in possession of the quaffle, and Cho marked the girl closely. She ducked to try to avoid the bludger zooming towards her, hoping that her close marking of Tia would lead to her dropping the quaffle.

The other team had possession, and Dan was waiting for his turn to take another block. He didn't often play Keeper, but he was kind of liking. Though, as a Chaser it was much easier to ignore everyone's emotions around him. He watched the Shrooms tried to score, and he attempted to catch it in hopes of passing it to his teammate, Kisumi.

(yeah I have no idea XD)

[kaylee māhealani mahi'ai]

While playing Quidditch wasn’t something that Kaylee had ever done before—considering the popularity of Quodpot in America—she was willing to give it a try, at least. She hadn’t been able to promise her teammates that she would be any good at the sport, but the game didn’t count for anything. She was playing the position of Chaser, and the other team had gotten possession of the Quaffle, the ball that they needed to score.

She hadn’t gotten the Quaffle yet, though Kaylee was glad that her team was the one in the lead. Still learning as she went along, she had tried to watch what her teammates did as closely as she could. The other team’s Keeper was at the ready, and Kaylee kept a close eye on her fellow American, Kisumi Moore.

The older woman who had the Quaffle seemed like she knew what she was doing, which was a little bit intimidating for someone who had no Quidditch experience whatsoever. She couldn’t just take the Quaffle from her that easily, she guessed, but she still had to hope that the older woman playing Chaser would somehow lose her grip on it.

Watching as the opposing team attempted a goal, Kaylee held tight to her borrowed broomstick and tried her best to maneuver herself in such a way that she could intercept the Quaffle and pass it off to one of her teammates who knew the game better than she did.

Zita was waiting patiently on her broom, floating just outside of the middle goalpost as she waited for the enemy team's chaser to enter within range to attempt to score. She was ready for them, hoping that they would come. She's watched as her own team had missed the goal; their keeper wasn't too bad either she could see from her position. It was her turn now to show of her skills. The chaser closed in her her position, ball in her hand and Zita felt herself dip deeper on her broom, ready to race to wherever she needed to in order to gain possession of the quaffle for her team. They needed to make their lead bigger and it would start with her. It happened in slow motion. The chaser got up to where she wanted to be, the ball flew from her hand towards the goal posts and Zita pulled her broom hard in it's direction to try and catch it.

Quodpot skills were largely transferable to Quidditch, thankfully, or at least they were for a Chaser. Kisumi could fly and catch and throw one-handed, after all. Dan, from her team, passed her the Quaffle, and she caught it handily, and headed straight toward the girl guarding the goal. Mimi thought that position might be called Keeper, but she also didn't especially care - the goal was still the same. She flew fast and zig-zaggedly to the hoops and threw hard, hoping she'd get it through without being caught or hit out the way.

Daniel wasn’t sure how he got himself roped into a Quidditch match but he wasn’t really going to complain either. It was fun to be back on the Quidditch pitch. It was familiar to him, the feel of flying around on his broom, the bat in his hand looking for the next bludger to hit toward someone. All of it was a welcomed feeling to have once more in a time when most things he was seeing this summer were new and different. This match even had a few familiar faces from Ilvermorny too which had come as a surprise to Daniel as the teams were decided. As he thought of that he noticed another bludger coming right his way. It was the perfect chance as he swung hit bat aiming for the other teams chaser with the quaffle.
