I did the whole card-flip thing to draw schedules. I won’t be uploading it since I have to go somewhere now, but trust in my sk1llz and know I did not cheat.

Round 1 begins at 10. Be there at 9:30.
THIS SCHEDULE DOES NOT REFLECT ANY PRIOR SCHEDULES IN ANY REAL FASHION. IGNORE ALL OTHER SCHEDULES — THIS IS THE CURRENT AND CORRECT SCHEDULE.
12: UM USF 14: UF COC 15: COC UM 17: UF R 18: R COC
Rounds 13 and 16 would have otherwise had two fields using my pipe (none with brooms). Not sure what we will do for 13 and 16 now, but I am sure we will have many suggestions. =)
We are looking forward to seeing everyone out at Kanapaha park this weekend for the 2011 Swamp Cup! It’s going to be a hot weekend here in Gainesville, Fl so don’t forget your sunscreen and stay hydrated!
Can’t make it out to watch the games this weekend? Don’t fret, we will be keeping you updated with what’s going on at the park on our brand new twitter! Follow us at http://twitter.com/UFQuidditch or check back here at the end of each day for the summaries ad standing of that day.
1. The schedule and brackets are now final. =) Registration now absolutely, completely closed.
2. Any conflict between IQA 4.0 rules and the rules posted previously will be resolved in favor of IQA 4.0 rules. We are in the process of redrafting the tournament rules to better reflect a compliance with IQA 4.0 gameplay rules.
Extraordinary circumstances that prevented your team from timely registering may be told to us through e-mail at swampcup@gmail.com but be forewarned that it takes a while for you to fill out and for us to process the necessary registration forms, and that it’s increasingly unlikely you’ll get them done in time for the tournament.
I currently have registrations or partial registrations from the following teams:
Florida
South Florida
Ringling
Cape Coral HS
College of Charleston
Miami
If you are not on this list, and you want to play, you need to contact us ASAP.
Swamp Cup will be partnering with Power of Love, the UF Harry Potter Alliance chapter to collect books for the HPA’s third annual Accio Books drive. We are asking for donations in the form of children’s books for the drive.
For those who don’t know, the Harry Potter Alliance is a non-profit organization that uses themes from the Harry Potter series to improve our world through social action. The HPA’s mission “is to empower [its] members to act like the heroes that they love by acting for a better world.” Currently, the HPA is in the middle of a nine month campaign called the Deathly Hallows Campaign. Each month a new real life Horcrux is introduced that we are working to wipe out. Past Horcruxes have includes Starvation Wages where we wrote a petition to Time Warner asking them to ensure all chocolate associated with the Harry Potter name is Fair Trade (and received a response!), Bullying, where we teamed up with the Gay Straight Alliance helped raise awareness about bullying, especially in the LGBTQ community and with Marriage Equality Rhode Island to fight for marriage rights, and Body Bind where we fought social media’s idea of body image, by denouncing harmful body images, learning how to properly nourish the body and to get active. This month’s Horcrux revolves around Accio Books, a campaign run every March to promote literacy, love of story, and help a struggling community or school through donating books.
In past years, Accio Books has sent over 55,000 books to communities in Rwanda and the Mississippi Delta. This year, the HPA is partnering with the Bedford-Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School (BSNBCS) in Brooklyn, NY to build the “Imagine Better” Library for their students. The BSNBC school opened in September of 2010, without a library. They need books of all types including fiction, non-fiction, reference, historical, biographical, geography, science topics, including science fair ideas for their K-5 students.
Donations will be greatly appreciated! We will have a box at the field to collect the donated books.
