Chasers and Keepers

The Chasers and the Keeper are basically the most vital players. They are the ones who need to be the most active. To start off, a Quaffle Question will be represented to the Chasers and the Keeper. This question is not for all Chasers though - the questions are asked in turn, so first the (Gryffindors, for example) are asked the questions, and after that the (Slytherins) and so on. The object of the game is to be fast.

Quaffle: How many fouls can be made in Quidditch?

As soon as the question is represented, the Chasers have to answer. If they answer correctly, they gain 10 points. But if the opposing Keeper manages to answer the question first, then the goal is blocked and no points will be handed out. If the Chaser who answers first answers wrong, no points will be given out. If the Keeper answers wrong, he/she has not been able to block the goal and 10 points will be given to the opposing team. Then another question is asked, this time targeted to the other team, and the game follows the same pattern.

Beaters

The Beaters don't have too important of a role, so they needn't be here all the time. Every once in a while a Bludger Question will be asked.

Bludger: Who holds the record for the fastest capture of the Snitch to date?

Only the Beater from the defensive team can answer the question. The Beater who answers (correctly) first has thus hit the Bludger and prevented the opposing Chaser to score.

Seekers

The Seekers must be knowledgeable about HP and Quidditch in general, though they don't need to be so active all the time. At some points of the game, a Snitch Question will be presented. This will be a difficult question.

Snitch: Who was the first ever person to cross the Atlantic by broom?

The first Seeker to answer it will get a bit closer to catching the Snitch. After "catching" the Snitch three times, they finally really catch the Snitch and the game is over, giving the Snitch catcher's team an additional 150 points.

The points are given to the houses judging by how many points they beat the other team by. If, for example, Gryffindor won Slytherin 150-50, Gryffindor would get 100 points and Slytherin none.

And so always the first person's answer is crucial. If they answer correctly, then it's good. If they answer wrong but someone answers correct after them, then it doesn't count. Everything relies on the first person.

Non-Quidditch players are NOT to answer the posted questions. If non-Quidditch team members answer questions, the assigned points will be deducted from that House's total points. I would advise the House Captains to make this extremely clear in your House Common Rooms. There will be no exceptions.

At the start of a match, I will flip a coin to decide who gets the first Quaffle question. I realize this is somewhat random, but each team should have an equal opportunity to answer/score and or block an attempted goal.

During a match I will start a "Fans and Chearleading" Fourm for non-team members to participate. Feel free to cheer your team on to your heart's content. Non-team members are to post only in this forum. As I mentioned before, posting in the actual match forum will cost your House Team Points!

- Any player or Mod(with the exception of those responsible for the match) found to have either altered or deleted a post will cost their team the match and 100 points towards the House Cup.


- Player substitutions must be approved by the Starting Captain and properly posted by the Match official and answers can not be given by a player unless they're in an approved position.


- Each team will only be allowed 5 substitutions for an entire match so pick your players wisely. If players aren't able to participate regularly in matches then find some that are.
