How to play! “You can’t cancel Quidditch!”- Oliver Wood

Quidditch rules A Quidditch team -seven players who play with a broom between their legs at all times. Shooting the quaffle through on of the hoops is 10 points. Each player has a distinctive role on the team, indicated by the color of their headband. To start the game the team members stand at their goal lines and when the referee blows the whistle both teams race to grab the balls. The game will run for 40 minute and the team with the most points wins or once the snitch is caught the game will end. There are three goals, that have hoops, on each side of the pitch, each worth 10 points Total of five balls, one quaffle which is a volleyball which is what the chasers use to score with, shooting it through the goal hoops, three bludgers which are dodgeballs that you through at the player who has the quaffle (chaser) When a player is hit with the bludger then the player has to drop the quaffle and run back and touch their goal post to resume playing. Then there is one snitch which is a tennis ball in a stocking attached to a person who will run around the pitch, the snitch will not be released until the second half of the game, the seekers of each team will try to catch the runner and get the tennis ball from them. Catching the snitch is worth 30 points. The snitch will not be released until the second half of the game.

Money team positions Could have 10-14 per team 3 Chasers- Only use the quaffle to score points through the goals worth 10 points 2 Beaters- Only use the bludgers to throw them at the chasers who have the quaffle, if it hits the chaser then the chaser has to drop the ball and run back their team goal and touch the post to resume play 1 Keeper-The keep is the goalie of the team trying to keep the other team from getting the quaffle through the goals 1 Seeker- The seeker is the player who looks for the golden snitch which will be attached to a person running around the pitch, or hidden somewhere around the pitch depending on if there is someone to attach it to. The seeker will play as the chaser and beater until the snitch is released.

fouls Aggressiveness- the level of aggressiveness for Quidditch will be somewhat like soccer, how players can go shoulder to shoulder, players are able to take the ball off of their opponents with their hands. NO tackling, tripping, broom hitting, blagging (no player may seize any part of an opponents broom), bumphing (beaters must not throw bludgers toward spectators) , cobbling (players must not make excessive use of their elbows against opponents), Quaffle-pocking (players must not tamper with the quaffel in anyway), snitchniping (no player other than the seeker may touch or catch the golden snitch) or stooging (no player may knock the opposing teams keeper out of the way so they can score a easy).

Playing time Subbing- player with bandana must step off the pitch, give their bandana to their substitute, the substitute must tie the bandana onto their arm before being able to enter the pitch and processed playing.
