When and where is the 2015 Canadian Western Fantasy Tournament?
Saturday July 25, 2015 on the University of Calgary campus, Calgary, Alberta Canada
What is a fantasy tournament?
It is a quidditch tournament where you sign up as an individual and get drafted to a team. You then get to play with friends and strangers, playing for the glorious title of the Canadian Western Fantasy Champions!
What if I've never played quidditch before?
Sign up! Really! This tournament will have people who have literally never played before playing alongside Canadian National team athletes. It's really open to everyone, over the age of 16, just by signing up (and paying).
What can I expect at the tournament?
First, there will be a draft, so you'll get to meet your team in person. Then you'll play a bunch of quidditch, take some breaks to watch some quidditch, then play some more! Afterward, there will be hanging out and partying.
I'm traveling in from out of town. Is there housing?
Welcome to Alberta! And yes there will be free housing available. Priority will be given to players traveling the farthest distance. Fill out whether or not you need housing when you sign up for Cowboys and Dinosaurs.
Why "Cowboys and Dinosaurs"?
Because cowboys (and girls and gender-neutral cow folk) riding dinosaurs. What more do you need?
Can I come watch?
Absolutely! We love to play in front of a large audience. Join our Facebook event to get all the details about exact locations and times for games. We don't charge admission, but bring your cash to buy all the sweet, sweet merchandise!
I'm coming for the party.
That's not a question but it is a great reason to come to Alberta. Our legal drinking age is only 18 years old. If you can play in this tournament, you can party after the tournament. In an actual bar. With music and dancing and alcohol.
How do you fly? How does the snitch work? Et cetera?
Come play and find out your answers to these and every other question you may have about quidditch. Or check out Quidditch Canada's basic rules page for more information.
