-----Hello! My name is Mafalda and I'll be your Dueling referee. While we are myself with IceeWitch, technically, in charge of the club, our associate, Miss Love Tantei will be helping as the Lead Instructor. The referees, Miss Love Tantei and any of the Dueling Instructors (see below) will ask a random trivia question and whoever answers first will receive house points. However, you must remember that you must have posted in the ->Sorting Hat<- so you can be sorted in order to win points, or else you're just answering questions for the fun of it because House Elves and Graduates can't win house points, although they are welcome to join in! 3nodding

Dueling Club Rules and Guidelines:
(A must-read before you participate in Dueling)
(A must-read before you participate in Dueling)
1. Don't post your own questions without Permission. stare Only Dueling instructors and myself can post questions or award points. I'll wallop you with my broomstick if you do, and then take points off or even prolong your sorting date. I have the power and I rarely use it, but I will for this. It's a big pet-peeve of mine.
2. Type in your house color. Always, type in your house color when answering a question so we know which house to give points to. You can now lose points for not doing so, so just do it. The instructors will always type in a neutral color (default color). Note to House Eleves: You may use any color of the rainbow to answer, but you are not to use any shade of house colors. You will be reminded in a very firm letter of warning for first offenses.
3. We like non-students, but we can't award them for their answers. We do not think that this should stop you from answering questions if you so desire. 3nodding However, House elves and non-students should note that only students can earn points for answering questions. We only think it is fair to warn you before you participate.
4. You may not answer a question if you have answered one of the previous three correctly. We all span multiple time zones and have different times throughout the day that we can be on. It is not fair if you are lucky enough to have coinciding times with an instructor and can catch questions before other people. Everyone deserves a fairly equal chance to answer. However, if 24 hours have gone by since a question was posted and it is still answer-less you can go ahead and answer. I will dock 2 points every time you violate this and if you are a repeated offender I will begin to dock even more.
5. All instructors must give everyone a chance to answer questions! No instructor may answer a question until five hours have passed since the question was asked. This is merely because instructors usually check this thread the most often and also tend to know more trivia, as that's their job in this thread. Failure to follow this rule will also loose a point from your house and continual offense will result in the loss of your position in the Club.
6. Lighting round answers must be PMed to Miss Love Tantei! (See "Lightning Rounds" below in this post) If a single person fails to follow this rule and posts the answers in the thread, they will lose 25 points for their house and those Lighting Round questions will be dead and no one will receive anything for them. (Also, there won't be any making a replacement round for that term, it will simply go by without a Lighting Round. Also it is up to the Lead Instructor if there should be a Round or not)
7. Please don't go straight for you books, people. rolleyes All participants in the Dueling Club and myself would appreciate it if you did not go straight for your books or a site like Lexicon to answer the question. Someone might know it from memory and, really, they deserve the credit far more than someone who would have to look it up. However, we understand that some are eager to earn points and so we understand if you become impatient. Just don't automatically go to the book, it sorta ruins it for everyone. Try answering it from memory, you'd be surprised how much you know without checking the book.

So, to sum it up...normal questions you answer here, "lightning round" questions you PM to Miss Love Tantei.
Trust, me, you'll know a lighting round when you see it.

Lightning Rounds:
(What they are...)
(What they are...)
-----Every term has a 'round' and, toward the end of each term, there may be a "Lightning Round." Lightning Rounds will be held basically whenever the Lead Instructor has the time, but there will only be one per term. They will be posted and clearly marked with a lightning round Banner, as well as a notice of a lightning round in the thread title. So they are difficult to confuse with a regular question. In a Lightning Round there will be a series of 5 to 10 difficult questions; you will have to PM the answers to Miss Love Tantei (or someone who she specifies) and the person who sends her the most correct answers from their own memory and then from the books will receive a considerable amount of house points and first and second place also receive prizes.(All prizes will be stated before I post the questions and will vary from time to time, but hopefully may be a Collectible) However, if a single person fails to follow the rules and posts their answers instead of PMing them, they will be punished and the entire lighting round will be called off. So, as long as you follow the rules, you're good! 3nodding
Well, now you have all there is to know about us.
Let's see what you know!
