User blog:Asteriea/The 2026 British and Irish Quidditch League!

 The 2026-2027 League Approaches! This year we've made a few changes: New Team We're bringing the Montrose Magpies of Scotland back into the league. Got an old player left over from the World Cup that you can't bring yourself to get rid of? Any newly-graduated characters with athletic aspirations? Feel free to have them form the new team! GMs and Match Format The matches will be in a "double elimination" bracket this year rather than a "Round Robin" one, to reduce the number of games. We're also looking for GMs and backup GMs, so if you're up for that please post a comment! Managers We've decided to elect managers to teams, so if any of your characters are looking for a career change, please do nominate them! The only criteria is that they can't be too young - no newly graduated managers, please - and they have to like Quidditch (naturally). There's a list of them below: The managers will be able to organize teams, and start team meetings at Ilkley Moor Stadium or elsewhere. They'll also be able to take characters off the teams if they don't post for two consecutive matches - or, in the case of the seeker, even earlier than that - and they can approach other characters about joining their teams, such as soon-to-graduate Hogwarts players. If a team doesn't have a manager by Saturday, the team will be organized by us instead.
