====== When and Where ======
//Scoop!// will take place over 6 [[Uptime and Sessions|Uptimes]] from 7-10pm on the Tuesdays of 1st through 6th Week, Trinity term 2025. Uptimes are in-person sessions of live action roleplay, and will take place at **Christ Church College**; players will meet outside the Porters' Lodge a few minutes in advance of the start, to be led to the room by a GM.

Additionally, there will be a hybrid online and in-person character creation session on the evening of Tuesday Week 0, where players can ask questions and discuss ideas before designing their characters, and a debrief session on Tuesday Week 7 after the game has ended.

Between Uptimes, players will be invited to submit a Turnsheet explaining what their character gets up to in the time before the next session. For more information, consult [[downtime_and_turnsheets|Downtime and Turnsheets]]. The deadline for **Turnsheet submissions** is **6pm on Wednesday**, the day after Uptime. Turnsheets should be submitted on the wiki, through your private player page.

==== Applying to the Game ====
While applying to join //Scoop!//, there are three key dates to be aware of. An optional character creation session will be held from 7-10pm on 22/04/25, the Tuesday of 0th week. Players will be able to join either in-person or online, through the game's [[https://discord.gg/3jtXRV6y|Discord server]], in order to ask questions or discuss ideas before designing their characters. You may submit a character for the game without having attended the character creation session.

Two deadlines follow. First, the **ballot for entry** will close at **12 noon on the Thursday of 0th week**, 24/04/25. This is where you can register your interest for the game, after which the GMs will publish a list of those who have made it in. Secondly, **character submissions** are expected by **12 noon on the Friday of 0th week**, 25/04/25, in order to give the GMs time to consider them before the game begins.
