Confederation Wizarding Decathlon

The Confederation Wizarding Decathlon is a national magical competition in wizarding American that includes ten events, and is sanctioned by the American Wizarding Confederation. A Junior Decathlon is also held for younger competitors.
The events of the Decathlon include dueling, magical puzzle-solving, wandwork, potions, and "lots of different challenges." The most recent Junior Decathlon was held in June 2012. However, numerous incidents occurred during the Decathalon largely due to the presence of Alexandra Quick, who was able to gain admittance by convincing the Ozarkers to name her as their champion. 
Tensions were extremely high, due both to Quick's extreme animosity with Governor-General Elias Hucksteen and the previous destruction of New Amsterdam Academy at the hands of Quick's father, Abraham Thorn. The most notorious case was New Amsterdam champion Harriet Isingrim, who desired revenge against Abraham Thorn for the deaths of both her father and uncle in the Roanoke Underhill Disaster and subsequently chose to target Alexandra. After one murder attempt during the Decathalon led to her disqualification, a second attempt using a blood-binding Unbreakable Vow to trap Alexandra in a duel to the deat. This ultimately failed and led to her expulsion from New Amsterdam Academy in total disgrace. 
Ultimately, the Decathalon was ended suddenly with no winner after New Amsterdam was attacked by Abraham Thorn and the Dark Confederation, in order to cause a distraction to allow Alexandra Quick to raid Storm King Mountain, stealing the book used to record the sacrifices of the Deathly Regiment, exposing the truth of the Regiment to the entire Confederation and igniting the Confederation Civil War.
