Section 3: Responsibilities

Captains' Responsibilities

It is the duty and responsibility of each Captain to hold tryouts for their respective House teams. The tryouts will take place in each House's respective tryout thread. Each Captain will hold no less than five (5) and no more than ten (10) tryout sessions. When the tryout period has ended, each Captain will submit their roster consisting of 11 players (including themselves) by the deadline set by the Quidditch Official. This roster must be sent to the Quidditch Official, who will then send it to the proper Head of House and Headmistress. Only AFTER the Head of Houses and Headmistress give the Quidditch Official their input on the rosters will team rosters be posted in each respective locker room by the Quidditch Official.

It is the responsibility of each Captain to hold regular practices and to make sure they can field a team on game day. Captains are also expected to be active in the school RPG, just like their teammates. This includes attending classes and earning points through participation/homework.

It is the responsibility of each Captain to attend their matches. If a Captain is unable to attend a match session, it is their responsibility to contact the Quidditch Official at least 24 hours prior to the game and provide the name of their substitute for approval. A Prefect on the House team, a long time House team player, a former Captain, or a moderator are the first choices to fulfill this temporary role. The Quidditch Official will respond and then post the approved substitution in the Captains' Locker Room. If a Captain fails to contact the Official and is absent on the day of the match, the Quidditch Official will find an appropriate substitute for the match so that the team will not have to forfeit).

The two Captains in each game are expected to be in a chat with the Official prior to the start of and during the duration of the game. In the chat, the Official will remain in constant contact with the Captains and inform them of the ruling on the pitch prior to posting. If the Official has any questions regarding the ruling of an answer, they will consult an administrator in a separate window and keep the Captains informed of what is being discussed. In these Official-administrator chats, the Official keeps the identity of each team anonymous to avoid any favoritism. (An example of how the Official presents the problem to the administrator: "The Snitch question was: "Who replaced Harry as the Gryffindor Seeker?" Seeker A posted first with the answer of 'Ginny' while Seeker B posted second with the answer of 'Ginevra Weasley'. Which answer would you accept?") If an administrator is not present, the Official will seek the advice of at least two Staff members (who are not the Heads of the two houses playing) in a chat. The same anonymity will be used by the Official to avoid favoritism.

It is the responsibility of each Captain to communicate with the Quidditch Official during a game or otherwise if a situation arises (or any time they need assistance). Any problem during a match should be presented calmly and without accusing the Official of favoritism or cheating. Problems regarding Quidditch outside of matches should be brought to the Quidditch Official first as well. If that doesn't work, then the Captain should explain the problem to their Head of House, who is their advocate and will help resolve any problems in the school, whether it be Quidditch or something else. The final person a Captain can turn to is the Headmaster or Headmistress - they run the school for the site owner and have the power to reverse an Official's match ruling if it is in error.

* * * * *
Practices

All team practices will be held in the practice pitch designated for each team and will be run by each team Captain. Captains should avoid holding practices offsite. Only the players on the approved roster may practice. Substitutes may practice once they have been approved by the Quidditch Official. Those who make their teams are expected to participate in practices, and those who attend practices should be the first choice players when creating the game roster. The team Captain has the right to not play those who fail to attend practice and fail to contact them regarding absences. Joint team practices must be approved by the Official before they take place.

* * * * *
Sportsmanship

All members on each team are expected to act with decorum both on and off SS. Any abuse or perceived unsportsmanlike conduct behavior by any member of a House (player or not) can result in House Point deduction and detention. In extreme cases, punishments may include removal from a team, loss of the match, and/or expulsion from the site.

It has come to the attention of the site staff that unsportsmanlike conduct by House players has been on the rise, both on and offsite. All House players should be alerted that any form of bullying, harassment, or other unsportsmanlike conduct in regards to Quidditch will be taken very seriously by site staff. If any player or team feels they are the victim of such actions, they should consult their team Captain immediately. It is the Captain’s responsibility to contact the Quidditch Official about these concerns. Punishments can include loss of house points up through expulsion from the site or the suspension of Quidditch sitewide. (See ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’ below)

* * * * *
Commentators

Sign-ups to become a commentator will be open to all students and staff before the Quidditch season begins. Up to two commentators may commentate in any one game. Those who are interested in co-commentating should collaborate with another member and specify on the sign-up form with whom they wish to commentate; both parties must submit a commentator form to be eligible. Commentators will be selected by the Quidditch Official and take part in the game day chat with the Captains and Official to stay up-to-date on the happenings of the match. They will be expected to give a detailed, exciting play-by-play in the Stands thread as the game progresses. Prospective commentators should be creative, quick thinkers and enjoy the sport of Quidditch.

The Official will no longer give a play-by-play to both speed up gameplay and to enhance the importance and honor of being a selected commentator.
