| | |  Gobstones Club: Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin
Gobstones Club Rules Hello and welcome to the Gobstones Club! Gobstones is a magical game similar to marbles & petanque played by Muggles, except that the balls spit up (gob) a foul smelling liquid in the face of the opposing player when they loose a point! The version of Gobstones we will be playing this term is Jack Stone, in which you must roll your Gobstone closer to the Jack Stone than your opponent. House Teams: Each student will serve as a representative of their House and have the opportunity to participate in the Gobstones Tournament. There will be no set number of members on the team, and thus, NO TRYOUTS. Everyone gets to play if they wish to do so (even Mods and Quidditch team members) by choosing to answer for their House whenever a question is asked! Also, there are no ‘positions,’ so any person can answer any question at any time. Tournament: The tournament consists of three matches, two preliminary and one final Championship match. The matches will be open in their own threads and will last for approximately 1-2 weeks, which is plenty of time to allow for people in different time zones and with differing schedules to be involved. The first two matches will run simultaneously in different threads. The third will be played a short time after those matches conclude and last for about a week. Format & Scoring: These matches will be played using a question-answer format, similar to that used for Quidditch matches in the School RPG. Questions will be categorized by academic subjects that include: Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Current Events (pertains to Hogwarts, A History for the School RPG), Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Divination, Flying and Quidditch, History of Magic (includes Harry's time at Hogwarts and anything prior), Muggle Studies, Potions, and Transfiguration. Each match is divided into eight rounds. Each round consists of three questions of varying challenge levels – Easy, Moderate, and Difficult, and varying subjects, with some questions combining subjects. Each question will be asked to BOTH Houses simultaneously in a head-to-head situation. Each house gets ONE CHANCE ONLY to answer the question, so only one player (presumably, whoever gets there first and thinks they know the answer) should answer from each House. (Please do not post the same answer multiple times from different players of the same house. Answers from the same house posted 2 or more minutes apart will be penalized so make sure you refresh when necessary.) The first House to answer correctly will get their ball closer to the Jack Stone than their opponent and earn one point for that round. If a house answers and the opposing house believes the answer to be incorrect, that opposing house has the opportunity to answer the question correctly (provided that they have not already given another answer.) If the first House is incorrect and the second House is correct, the ball belonging to the first house will be "knocked" out of the circle and out of play. The second house's ball will be considered closest to the jack stone, thus earning them one point for that question. If both houses get the question wrong on their first attempt, both stones will roll out of the circle, out of play, and there will be no score for that question. The House with the most points (best out of three) for each round will win that round. Each subsequent round will be played the same way until 8 rounds have been completed. The house with the most won rounds will have rolled their gobstone closest to the jack stone and won the match. In the event of a tie, either within a round or between rounds, there will be a tie-breaker question or round of questions, respectively. Example: Here is what a question from a round may look like: Quote: Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw
Subject: Ancient Runes
Round 1, Question 1
Difficulty: Easy
Question: Which rune is known as the Rune of Chance, Mystery, and Science?
Now say, Slytherin answered first with the following: Since this answer is correct, my reply (as Club advisor) might look like this: Quote: The Slytherin player rolls the stone at just the right speed and angle, putting their gobstone as close to the jack stone as you can get! Ravenclaw's stone overshoots and rolls out of the circle! ٍSlytherin's stone spits up that foul-smelling nastiness into the face of the Ravenclaw player!
Round 1 Score
Question 1 - Slytherin
Match Score
Slytherin: 0 rounds
Ravenclaw: 0 rounds
Responsibilities: All members on each team are expected to act with decorum both in the school RP and on the SS site. Any abuse or perceived unsportsmanlike conduct behavior by any member of a House (player or not) can result in House Point deduction, detention, banning from the Gobstones club, loss of the match, and/or expulsion from the site. Infractions and Penalties: Editing your post is not allowed. If you are caught editing your answer to a question during a match, the opposing team will automatically be awarded the point for that question, regardless of their answer. | |

Hufflepuff and Slytherin both enter well-aimed Gobstones into the circle. Both are approaching the Jack Stone as they slow to a stop. Despite a great attempt, Hufflepuff can't beat Slytherin's position! Slytherin wins the point and the round!

Slytherin attempts to overpower Hufflepuff with brute force, using more than one Gobstone in this turn! Unfortunately for Slytherin, they've now earned themselves a penalty and Hufflepuff is automatically awarded the point!
OOC: While the first late post would have been acceptable because it was within 1 minute of the post before it, the second late post (despite saying Late Delete) counts as a post and thus, a penalty.

Hufflepuff attempts to land their gobstone near the Jack Stone, but uses too much force and causes their gobstone to roll out of play! Slytherin doesn't take their shot in time and so no point is awarded!
OOC: The correct answer was Expanding.

Hufflepuff slides a gobstone into the circle and waits to see where it will come to a stop. Will it be near enough to the Jack Stone to win the point? Yes it is! Hufflepuff wins the point!

Hufflepuff releases a gobstone into the circle and watches as it slows to a halt three inches from the Jack Stone. Slytherin takes their turn and just edges out over Hufflepuff to win the point! We have a tied round! Time for a tie-breaker turn!
