Duelling League Term 3

The Duelling League is ready to start. It is a league held all-term long. There are several groups of four contestants. In each group, the contestants will face each other so that in the end every player would played against every other player once (which means that in the Group Stage every member will have three matches). We will start with one group of four contestants, and every time that four new members register for the Duelling League, a new group will be formed with those four contestants, so don't hesitate to register even if the League has already started.

A Duelling League Match consists of two duels, which means that the result of a match can be 2:0 for one of the members or 1:1. The winner of a match receives three points (duelling club points and not House points), whereas the loser doesn't get any. If there is a draw, each player receives one point. At the end of the Group Stage, the two players with the highest number of points in every group will advance to the Knockout Stage. Depending on the number of groups, we will hold Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, ... (for example, if we have two groups, we will directly proceed from the Group Stage to Semi Finals), every first placed contestant in one group facing one of the second placed contestants in another group.

In the Knockout Stage, there will be two legs for every round (Quarter Finals, Semi Finals), which means that two matches are played between the two players. After the two legs, the aggregate score determines the winner, who proceeds to the next round whereas the loser is eliminated. If it is tied, we proceed to a penalty shootout (each player is asked five questions and the winner is the one who has the most correct answers). However, this does not apply for the Final, in which only one match is played (if it is tied, we also have a penalty shoot-out). Please note that if the number of remaining players in the Knockout Stage is high, one leg may be played in for every round rather than two (this decision will be made once the Group Stage is over).

The winner of the Final is proclaimed Duelling Club Champion, and receives 100 galleons, along with 200 House points. The runner-up earns 50 galleons and 100 House points, and the third 25 galleons and 50 House points (there will be a match between the contestants who lost in Semi-Finals to determine who is third). On this page, you will find all sorts of information considering the League, such as fixtures or standings. If you want to take part in it, please first read the Duelling Guide and then register for the League.

The duels will be held mostly on weekends, to make sure that everyone can participate. We will contact you to choose a time for the match, so that the chosen time may suit both contestants. However, if you agree to a time but don't show up without informing a Duelling Club moderator in advance, your opponent is declared winner of the match. Furthermore, if you disappear in the middle of a match without a warning, you have 15 minutes to come back, or else your opponent is declared winner. All times in the fixtures are CET (Central European Time, which is also the time displayed on the Time widget on the forum), so you have to convert them to your time zone to get them in your local time. The average time of a match shouldn't exceed 20 minutes so it shouldn't not be difficult for you to find time for it.
