Day 1 Spectator

Saturday 27th of January, 2024

It was still the middle of winter by the time the second stage of the duelling tournament rolled around, and with a steady snowfall blanketing the grounds, the duelling club was even more packed than usual, with those who might have otherwise spent the day on the grounds lured inside by the prospect of warmth and the boisterousness of the crowd. And the crowd was something to behold as they filed in to cheer on their friends and housemates, with laughter and chatter filling the moments before the first showing of the day, loud enough to overwhelm the senses in the packed room, and with brightly coloured scarves and hats everywhere, wordlessly proclaiming each student's allegiance to a particular house. There was a sense of excitement and anticipation. The sort that might fray the nerves of any competitor, even if they weren't prone to pre-match jitters.

A large board bore the schedule for both days, ensuring both spectators and duellists would know when each match was taking place, as well as who was expected to officiate. Everything to ensure the event would run smoothly as duellists clambered on to the piste to test their mettle against other teams. After weeks of practice, it was time to see where everyone stood in terms of skills and nerve.
