Just a few days left before the competition! I AM SO EXCITED!!! I wanted to throw out some reminders:
- Please arrive on time at 2pm on Sunday. We want to start promptly and if you are more than 10 minutes late then you are automatically disqualified and the next alternate in line will take your place.
- After the second round there will be an intermission so that people can take bathroom breaks and maybe grab a quick bite to eat.
- We have already matched the 32 contestants to a randomly selected partner, so you will not know who will be on your team nor which two people will be your opponents in Round 1 until Sunday.
- If you are officially a contestant in the competition and you find out that you cannot make it on Sunday from 2-6pm at Ed McKay's in Raleigh then let me know ASAP. I only request this because we have an alternates list, and if you cannot come then there are others in line waiting to take your spot.
- You are not on the list to be in the competition (or to be an alternate) on Sunday UNLESS you have e-mailed me telling me that you would like to participate. So, e-mail me beforehand at hpcompetition@gmail.com.
- If you do show up without e-mailing me and still want to try to participate, I will add you to the alternates list.
- If you are an alternate do not give up hope! There might be a chance that not all 32 people show up and you get to take their spot. I would also e-mail you as soon as I hear from contestants before Sunday if they choose to drop out and you are next to replace them. Also, regardless of whether or not you are a contestant and you show up on Sunday I will enter your name in a drawing to win one of 4 movie passes to Regal Crown Theaters to see the new HP movie!
***AMAZING NEW UPDATE (that I have been waiting forever to get confirmation of and NOW I finally have it)****
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place winners will automatically receive 1 movie ticket each to Regal Crown Theaters to see the new Harry Potter movie! (The pass is actually good for any movie at any Regal Crown Theater, but I'm just promoting the movie)
Unfortunately I have a sad announcement to make. Dumbledore will no longer be joining us on Sunday because of a Whole Foods work conflict, so he will be away. However, we still have Hagrid coming!
I can't wait to see you all and get the ball rolling on the first Harry Potter Trivia Competition! Thank you all so much for your participation because really, I could NOT have done this without you. I can't believe all of this is happening and I am really excited to see the whole event go down on Sunday. As always, if you have any questions or need directions to the Ed McKay's Used Books store in Raleigh, let me know :) Thanks again and I'll see you on Sunday!!!!
