The Honors College Assembly has announced the dates for Quidditch at the Capstone and has opened team registration.
Preliminary matches will take place each night from April 15 to April 19 on the Recreation Center intramural fields. The World Cup Finals festival will be held on April 21.
Teams must register before March 13 in order to participate. A registration table will be in the Ferguson Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until March 13. Students can also register on Quidditch at the Capstone’s Facebook page.
In order to complete a team’s registration, a $25 team fee needs to be paid in the HCA office in Nott Hall.
Olivia West, vice president of the Honors College Assembly, said part of the registration costs will support children in the Black Belt.
“There is a $25 team fee; $10 of this is a forfeit fee that you get back at your first match, [and] $5 is going directly to helping kids in the Black Belt through the program 57 Miles,” West said.
Teams must be comprised of UA students and must have at least seven people. No more than 14 players per team will be allowed to participate in a single game. Teams have the option to register up to two substitute players who may play in case of scheduling conflicts.
