This topic is to provide an OVERVIEW/OUTLINE of the intended schedule.  It makes no promise of precise dates, and it is subject to change if necessary.

Length and Structure:  The 2017-2018 House Cup will run from September 2017 to August 2018.  The year has been broken up into four (northern hemisphere) seasons:  fall (September, October, November), winter (December, January, February), spring (March, April, May), and summer (June, July, August).

Monthly Items:  Various monthly awards, such as Story of the Month, Forum Head Student, and Archive Head Student, will occur.

Writing Events:  In each season/quarter, there will be a writing event.  Prefects will host at least three of these, starting in the winter season (they currently have a competition going now).  Staff will host one in the spring.  Writing events will be announced in the first month of each season/quarter, though the duration of each may vary.

Small(ish) Events:  We have several ideas for events that are intended to be smaller (shorter in duration, less demanding) than the major/longer-running events.  October will have one of these, and March should as well.  February, April, May, and June may also have something smaller.  As we get closer, we will be better able to decide.  April-June will be light in sitewide events due to Camp NaNo and exam season.  This lull is good for in-house awards and activities.

Opening Event:  Will take place in September.

NaNo:  November is set aside solely for NaNoWriMo with no House Cup events occurring.  It's a House Cup break month--although many of us may be very busy.  :P April for Camp NaNo will not have any large events.  July for JulNo will be free for at least the beginning.

December:  Will have an event that involves working with people from other houses.

FROGS:  Will take place in January this year

Gift Exchange:  This is a popular activity, and we've set aside February for it.  It will not be a competition (no House Cup points given).

Spring & June:  See writing/small(ish) events sections above.

House Cup Finale:  Will take place in July/August.
