🐟 RIBBONBEATER TARGET PRACTICE 🐟

[evercreep]

RIBBONBEATER TARGET PRACTICE

Anxious to make sure he's up to team standards, Calvin Evercreech has coordinated with Ramon Delgado to call upon their junior friends for practice. Target practice, that is! Players will have to to fly down the pitch and score a goal (or catch a Snitch) without being hit by the Ribbonfin beater team.

The Quaffle gets tossed up to a Chaser, who must carry it from one end of the pitch to the other, and throw it past the Keeper. Calvin and Ramon are here to stop them from ever getting there. Meanwhile, Seekers are welcome to opt for searching for the Snitch instead, and may find a Bludger aimed their way while they're trying to deal with their rival.

HOW THIS WORKS

• Ribbonfin Quidditch players and all Juniors are invited to play in these trials.


• Each character will need to put points into their stats. A guide to scoring your characters:

  0 - Poor
  1 - Below Average
  2 - Average (as compared to your typical Quidditch player)
  3 - Above Average
  4 - Excellent

  • Veteran players (characters who were a first string player last year) get 11 points to distribute.
  
  
  • New players and reserves (characters who were not first string last year) get 9 points to distribute.
  
  
  • Non-players (characters not on a team in any capacity) get 7 points to distribute.


• Stats will determine how well a character does in the exercise. For Chasers/Seekers, two rolls will be done, for two attempts. (OOC, they will be rolled after a Beater or Keeper posts their stats.)
  • Chasers: Fly the length of the pitch for as many times as it takes until they're knocked off their broom or they've scored two goals, whichever comes first. RNG will determine how many times they're hit and how many times they score on the Keeper.
  
  
  • Seekers: Compete against opposing Seekers for the Snitch, and avoid getting knocked out. RNG will determine how many times they manage to catch the Snitch, and whether or not they're hit by a Bludger.
  
  
  • Beaters (Ramon & Calvin only): To practice their aim and how in sync they are, Ramon and Calvin will be doing their best to stop Chasers from scoring, and Seekers from catching the Snitch. While they're not trying to seriously injure anyone, Quidditch isn't a nonviolent sport. RNG will determine their success.
  
  
  • Keeper: Prevent Chasers from scoring. RNG will determine how well they do against particular players trying to score on them. In this case, Ramon and Calvin are not aiming for the Keepers, and they're safe from Bludgers.


• The only Beaters will be Calvin and Ramon, who set this up largely for their own benefit because they're terrible boys.


• Everyone else will rotate in and out so they all get a couple shots.


• Final results will be posted by Friday night based on whoever shows up!

IC REACTIONS

[evercreep]

Spectator Ariadne

[novelling]

Ari's here to watch, like she usually is for junior class Quidditch events. She golf claps any time Calvin or Ramon hits someone with a bludger. Good work, boys.

Spectator Zach

[readingrainbows]

Guess who would still rather eat his entire fist than play Quidditch? It's this kid! That's never stopped Zach from cheering VERY enthusiastically from the sidelines, though. Good........ bat swinging!!!! You're all........... throwing and catching REALLY well!!!!

Spectator Lucas

[bubblewrapped]

Lucas pulls his shirt up over his nose because even watching fake quidditch fake practice still makes him anxious. But, hey, he's all pretzeled up and ready to cheer on his friends. Have fun, everyone. He's sure you'll all endure your grievous injuries.

Spectator Austin

[soundscaped]

Austin isn't even sure how he wound up here—did someone say "forty best friends" three times or something? He cringes every time someone comes even close to getting hit, and tries to pay more attention to the guitar he brought for literally no reason. Maybe he'll write a song about this.

Spectator Spencer

[bitterlysweet]

Spencer shouts encouragement at his friends, and is especially pleased to see Todd and Cash out there. Pleased and kind of baffled? Like, yeah they did some Quidditch last year, but it's still kind of weird to see them on brooms. Whatever!!! Go kick ass!!!

As for Spencer himself playing? No thanks. Not his sport.

Spectator Madison

[cupquake]

Madison's here, bundled up & relatively cheerful!
She's working on some chants, etc -- so sit by her if you're cool with some questions about ~what you think~

Jade

[odder]

Character: Jade Otterwell
Position: Chaser? Sure.
How are they feeling in general about this exercise?: To truly never fear death, you must face it as often as possible with open arms.
That is. She’s not good at sports but she’ll think this a wonderful idea and support it by flying around on brooms some more.

Heathcliff

[heathclifflacey]

Character: Heathcliff Lacey
Position: Chaser
How are they feeling in general about this exercise?: Heathcliff is ALL IN. He never gives anything less than 100% when it comes to sports and he's eager to play and prove himself and maybe learn a thing or two about his future opponents. Manuverability still isn't his strong suit, though, and he's resigned himself to coming out of this with bruises. Lots of bruises. WHATEVER. It's fine as long as he stays on his broom, right? Let's do this!
