Default Gobstones Club: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw Preliminary

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 a variation of 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, while the third will be played a short time after those matches conclude.

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 4 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 pit 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.

House Points: The winning house of the championship match will receive fifty house points.

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:

Quote:
Perth
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. If the behavior continues, you will be banned from the club. You have been warned.

Professor Shackleton called the students to gather around the Gobstones court that she had constructed in the Arithmancy classroom. She explained quickly, "Greetings Lions and Eagles! Last term we played the Snake Pit version of Gobstones in our tournament, but this term we will be playing Jack Stone. In order to win a point, you must roll your Gobstone closer to the Jack Stone than your opponent. Please read the rules before we begin and be very familiar with them. Thank you and let's have some fun!"

Ravenclaw begins the match with accurately positioned roll of the Gobstone. The Eagles' gobstone comes to a halt resting on the Jack Stone! Gryffindor would have to match that roll in order to have any chance of winning this round. Can they do it this turn? NO! Gryffindor falls shy by a quarter of an inch, but they still have two turns to either knock away the Eagle stone or match it!

Gryffindor positions themselves outside the circle and slides their gobstone into play. It is traveling at just the right speed to match Ravenclaw's position against the Jack Stone! Can Ravenclaw knock the red stone away? No! Both teams have one stone resting against the Jack Stone and the next turn will determine the winner of this round!

Ravenclaw and Gryffindor both release their gobstones. Gryffindor is aiming for the Eagles' blue stone, but overshoots and travels a half a foot from the Jack Stone. Ravenclaw rolls their stone into the circle and knocks the Gryffindor stone away, leaving the Eagle stone closest to the Jack Stone! Ravenclaw wins the point and the round!

Lions' player Chris Potter skillfully tosses the red stone into the circle and observes as it lands perfectly against the Jack Stone! But oh no! Another Gryffindor player tossed a stone in out of turn and negates that perfect toss!

OOC: Two posts from the same house that are more than four minutes apart are not allowed. Gryffindor, you are receiving a warning. If it happens again, Ravenclaw will automatically win the point. For this time, the question will be a Draw. PLEASE READ ALL THE RULES BEFORE PARTICIPATING.

Ravenclaw's Mariel Morgan shows her skill as she takes aim and with perfect precision lands her blue gobstone resting against the Jack Stone. Chris Potter from Gryffindor tries to match her skill, and nearly does so, but falls a half an inch short! Eagles win the point!

With unbelievable determination, Ravenclaw slides their gobstone into the circle and brings it to a rest an inch from the Jack Stone. Gryffindor takes position and releases their stone, watching as it rolls to a stop almost an equidistant space from the Jack Stone! This one requires a tape measure to be exact... Ravenclaw edges Gryffindor out! Ravenclaw wins the point and the round!
