Magic Of Hogwarts School

This is going to be the Quidditch page. In order for us to start playing Quidditch we need to have full house teams, once that happens a schedule of when games will be played and by whom will be added here.

In the meantime please feel free to submit questions for use in the quidditch games. The questions should be Harry Potter trivia, and you will receive 5 points per question you submit.

Rules of Play for Magic of Hogwarts School Quidditch:

There will be 3 quidditch matches per term, and a schedule will be posted here once all houses have full teams.
We can play this either on the main mailing list, or we can create a new mailing list, or we can play it in the groups chatroom.
There is a time limit for the game of 2 hours. However if the game has not ended in those 2 hours, meaning the snitch has not been caught then an extra 30 minutes will be added on in order to finish the game.

HOW TO PLAY:
I will start the game by posting a quaffle question. This question is only for the chasers of each house so only they may answer it. Whoever answers the question correctly first gets possesion of the quaffle.
Then a new question will be posted for the chasers of the team in possesion of the quaffle and the keeper of the team not in possesion of the quaffle. Whoever answers the question correctly first will either block the quaffle or score. Meaning if the keeper answers first then the quaffle is blocked, but if any of the chasers answer first then they score 10 points for their team.
Then a new quaffle question will be posted, with the same rules as above.
Periodically a Beater question will be posted. This question is to only be answered by the beaters. So let's say Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are playing, Gryffindor has possesion of the quaffle and are now trying to score, I could post a beater question at this time and if the gryffindor beater answers the question correctly first then they protect their chaser from being hit, but if the ravenclaw beater answers the question correctly first then gryffindor losses the quaffle and a new quaffle question will be posted.
Then at some point during the game the snitch will appear and a snitch question will be posted and ONLY the team's seekers may answer the question, and whoever gets the correct answer in first gets the snitch and earns 150 points for their house.
However if both seekers fail to give the correct answer the snitch will go back into hidding and appear later on in the game.
