Hi all ,

While re-reading GoF , certain questions are appearing in my mind .. not sure whether they have been discussed before. But feel like posting anyway ...

1. Apart from Harry , all other champions are either appearing for
   OWL or in their NEWT/pre-NEWT year - which is supposed to be very
   tough scheduled. So how they could devote 1 year for a game. In
   case of people who are appearing for OWL/NEWT , are they exempt
   from end of year exam , too ? if they are , does competing ( Not
   even winning ) in tri-wizard tournament viewed as a replacement
   for those exams ?
   And all the foreign students who were not competing stayed for the
   whole year to cheer for their champions. Doesn't make much sense.

2. What will happen if your name comes out from the goblet but you
   refuse to compete as you didn't put your name in ? Is the
   punishment even more dangerous than facing dragons?

3. In the beginning it is said that the champion with total highest
   score in the three phases of the game will win. But in the third
   task – one who touches the cup first wins irrespective of total
   points. Seeker syndrome again ?
