 Quidditch Rule Book
 Section 1: The Positions 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 during a game. These are the players who will answer the Quaffle questions.
To begin a game, a Quaffle question will be presented only to the Chasers on both teams. The first answer is what counts, and the Chaser who posts first and has the correct answer will score 10 points. If the answer is incorrect, then no points are rewarded and the next question will go to the other team.
Once the first Quaffle question has been asked, the questions will then be asked in turn. This will allow the opposing team's Keeper to actively answer Quaffle questions.
For example, let's pretend Gryffindor and Slytherin are playing:

If the first person to post is a Chaser and they answer the question correctly, they gain 10 points for their team. However, if the Keeper manages to correctly answer the question first then the goal is blocked and no points will be rewarded.
If the Chaser who answers first is wrong, no points will be rewarded. If the Keeper answers the question first and is wrong, that means they were unable to block the goal and 10 points will be rewarded to the opposing team.
The Chasers and Keepers cannot edit their posts or post their answers more than once.
The next question will then be asked to the other team, and the game follows the same pattern.
* * * * * Beaters The Beaters don't have too important of a role, but they are the ones who can deduct points from the opposing team. They answer the Bludger questions that are presented to both teams' Beaters.

The Beater who answers first (and correctly) has thus hit the Bludger and 10 points will be deducted from the opposing team. If the first answer is incorrect, then no points are taken from either team. The Beaters cannot edit their post or post their answer more than once.
* * * * * Seeker The Seekers must be knowledgeable about the Harry Potter universe. During the game, Snitch questions will be presented. These will be the more difficult questions.

The first Seeker to answer the question correctly will get a bit closer to catching the Snitch and their team will receive 50 points. After a Seeker correctly answers three Snitch questions, the game is over.
The Seekers cannot edit their posts, but they may post their answer more than once and can double/triple/quadruple post until they have posted the correct answer.
* * * * * The Team Each House Team will consist of seven players - a Seeker, a Keeper, three Chasers and two Beaters who are captained by a player chosen by the team's Head of House. Four additional reserve players will be selected and will serve as the first-choice substitutes for a game.
Team rosters are approved by the Heads of Houses, the Headmaster/Headmistress and the Quidditch Official. It is the responsibility of the team captain to submit their respective team roster (including reserve players) to the listed individuals by the deadline set by the Quidditch Official.
The team line-up consisting of at least three (3) players and no more than seven (7), is due 30 minutes before the start time of the game. This roster must be posted in the Captains' Locker Room. Failure to post a roster 30 minutes after the set start-time of a game will result in a forfeit.
All teams must field at least three players for the game. Those players must be one Seeker, one Keeper, and one Chaser. Failure to field these three positions will result in a forfeit.
Position changes are not permitted once a game has started. Position changes, including substitutions, can only take place prior to the start of a game. At no time is a player to cover more than one position in a game.
Any player who is placed in detention may not play in a game, even if they finish serving their detention within an hour of the start of a game.
* * * * * Who Can Play Every sorted student who participates in the school RP has the opportunity to try out for their House team. Moderators and administrators who are active participants in the school RP are allowed to tryout and make their House Team as reserve players.
* * * * * Team Trials As stated above, every sorted student who participates in the school RP has the opportunity to try out for their House team. All Quidditch tryouts are open to those who sign up in their respective House tryout thread by the posted deadline set by each respective Quidditch captain.
All positions on a team are open at the start of the tryout period and past members do not yet have a spot on their respective House teams.
Those trying out for their House team must be active in at least two tryout sessions, and post (answer a question) more than five times in each session.
* * * * * Player Eligibility All sorted students who try out for their respective House Quidditch teams are expected to be active in the school RP. This includes attending classes and earning points. This also applies to those who earn a spot on their respective House teams. Playing Quidditch is a privilege, and lack of activity in the school RP can result in a person losing that right for the current school term. |
