This could be really complex to organize, but rewarding if it's done in the right way. To me, it looks like an entirely new site would need to be created to stand as a sort of neutral ground so all those of the three schools can participate equally. Canon Tournament aside, it wouldn't be fair to hold it on one site because the other two would have very little to do with it.

Before anything can begin to be organized, the rest of the members will need to express interest. If they do, I'll have to join the other two sites and approach the admins with the idea and, in turn, they'll have to present it to their members. If it gets that far, there's still quite a bit that needs to be worked out. Like I said, complex, but possibly worth it.

If this idea's approved by this site, then another plot can still go on to involve those not in the Tournament.

The Beauxbatons site is very very good! Everybody is pretty nice. hehe, All my chars have the same last name, so...yeah. "Jeanette Avallone" But I joined up, NOT from Jen's post...I found it myself!

*takes deep pride*

Alright, now, if we're going to do this, several things need to be sorted out before I approach the admins of the other sites.

First of all, there needs to be an age limit. This will have to be discussed with the other admins, but we can start here. Even though we have no canon plot, I still think it's highly unlikely for first years to be able to compete in something so difficult.

I think 14 and up is best.

That means I'll either have to wait a few terms to try and get this going OR allow students of all years. If I do that, there's going to be temporary chaos as students move around in year (those already joined would be allowed to choose a year). Because of that, lessons for the rest of this term can go on as they are, with all years together, so professors don't have to suddenly make lessons for all sorts of years.

Professor Demeetrie, you mentioned being on the Durmstrang site Jen linked to. Tell me, is it good? Demeetrie and Professor Avallone, do you think the admins would be willing to participate?

[Professor Eric Cooper]

you should allow all ages.......my charrie...jason sparks wants to be in it, haha

[Headmaster Albus Dumbledore]

Preteens in it is just unrealistic (even in HP). That's why, if I allow more years, the students already enrolled here can change their year and age (within a given interval after more years are offered). So Jason would be able to upgrade, perhaps, from the time I add the other years to a week after. Once a week has passed after the addition, it's too late and he'll just have to deal with it.

[Professor Alexandre Demeetrie]

Can professors enter? Oh yeah and Durmstrang is good.... second to Hogwarts. They havea chatroom. But I haven't really met any people yet. I'll try though.
And also...I owled there Headmaster to arrange us a meeting.

[Headmaster Albus Dumbledore]

No, I've already told you that professors cannot be in the contest. You can apply to be a judge when the time comes, but it's completely unfair to have adults compete against kids.

As for a meeting, I appreciate the effort, but we're not ready to set it up yet. I suppose you can let him in on the idea, but we need to figure out how this site is going to handle it first.

[Professor Gretchen Avallone]

Well, I'm sure that the Beaubatons admins and mods are very nice and open to almost everything. *nods head*

[Professor Alexandre Demeetrie]

Ok...But can I atleast train the student of my favour?
