Located on the far wall in the Training Hall, the strategic placement of the noticeboard requires you to step foot in the room. Perhaps the intent is that you will actually show up for that class you are running late for, or forgot? Or maybe it's a hint that some practice would be a good idea at this very present moment?
Come come. No excuses, now.
A copy of the noticeboard can also be found in the Seating Area, outside Professor Dakest's office. Students are encouraged to check one of the two copies regularly for updates and announcements pertaining to DADA.

For those who want to watch, stands have been set up along the Tournament Hall. Don't worry Duelers, you won't be able to hear or see your fellow classmates, so there is no worry of a distraction.
Duels should be completed before the next Dueling Club meeting so Tournament Standings can be determined.
------------------------------ OOC: Each duel must be completed by no later than October 24, midnight GMT-6 (OOC).
Also, if for some reason you cannot complete or start your duel, please let both me and your partner know. We will work something out.
These first duels will be a trail run of sorts. The point system for the spells and physical actions was done by thought and hasn't been tested. You all are the guinea pigs. Let me know how it goes If you find that there are be difficulties in the weight of points, please let me know. If there are spells missing you think should be included, please let me know.
If you have questions, please ask.

OOC: Sooo apparently I left out some very vital information to the duels when I was opening everything up last night. I blame late-night brain.
Anyways, some good Questions have come up, so I thought I would make them and the answers public. And why not create a public space for any further questions that crop up?
Please, don't be shy. There's really no such thing as a stupid question and I'm happy to answer any that come up

Students MAY challenge dueling Professors (Cosgrach, Moxely, MacLeod or Dakest), however these duels do NOT count towards Tournament standings and are purely for FUN/challenge. These duels, as such, should NOT take precedence over the student duels, so please make sure if you sign up you have time for both
Please PM/VM Tazenhani if you would like to duel a Professor.
