How to Play
To play our verision of Quiddtich, you need on each team:
- 3 chasers = scorers
- 2 beaters = stoppers
- 1 keeper = savers
- 1 seeker = finders
That's 7 players in all! If you don't have 7 people to play, you can always narrow it down. But you must have at lest one of each position. But if you're up to playing several position, or just wanna have fun, go right ahead! ^_^
In the game of Quidditch, there are 4 balls:
- 1 quaffle = chasers
- 2 bludgers = beaters
- 1 snitch = seeker
Each player must be on a broom. It doesn't matter what kind, as long as they are on one. Players must also wear robe looking things. ** See "Attire"**
Down below are the main rules and descriptions of each position and the rules for them. If it's a little confusing, you can always e-mail us at qpitch@hotmail.com
**~Play Rules~**
Bludgers - If you are hit by a bludger, you must drop the ball (if you have one) and freeze for 5 seconds. You can NOT throw the ball when you are hit, you must DROP it to the ground.
Time Outs - A team can call time out during the course of the game, but only three times. The referee(s) can uncall a time out if they feel the team is taking too long.
- If an apposing team walks out of a game because of poor sportsmanship, the apposing team will receive a Cheedee (CD) that will be put on that team's record.
- When a goal is scored, the opposite team gets the ball. If a goal is saved, the keeper can throw it to one of his/her team's chasers.
- If the quaffle is thrown or gets out-of-bounds on the pitch, a player must go get it and throw it back into play. Same with a bludger.
- Only the seeker can tough the snitch.
**~Main Rules~**
- All players, except seekers, must stay inside the pitch.
- All players must stay on their broom.
- All players must play their position only, except if there is a need for a replacement on the team.
**~Violence Rules~**
- If a player throws, hits, or stabs their broomstick at another player, or harms another player, they are expelled from the game.
***SCORING***
Each goal is one point! (You can just go by regular Quidditch! ^_^)
And the first team's seeker to find the snitch wins!
**~Audience Rules~**
- Audience members can not help the seeker find the snitch.
- Audience members can not go onto the pitch while the game is in progress.
- But the audience is encouraged to bsupport Potterheadism, so dress accordingly! ^_^<
