- The referee will announce approximately when the game will be held (For e.g. she says sometime next week). She will then post anytime during the time frame to release the Quaffle.
- A Chaser can only catch the Quaffle two hours after the referee's post. The Chaser to post first after two hours gets the quaffle. If a Chaser posts before two hours has passed, the other team gets the Quaffle.
- The Quaffle must be passed by a Chaser at least five times (doesn't matter on which team) before the first shot can be made.
- A Chaser can attempt a shot after the five passes. He/she has a choice on what hoop to chose: hoop 1, 2, or 3. The Chaser first post that he/she is attempting a goal and then PM the hoop number that they went for to the referee.
- After the Chaser attempts a goal, the Keeper can attempt to block it. After posting “block,” the Keeper shoud PM the hoop he/she is blocking (decide on hoop 1, 2, or 3) to the referee. If the Keeper blocks the goal the Chaser went for, the block is successful. If the Keeper blocks the wrong goal, the goal is successful. If Keeper does not block at all before the Referee gets on, the goal is also successful.
- When a Chaser successfully made a goal, the other team gets the Quaffle. This goes on until the Seeker catches the Snitch.
- The Beaters' job is to intercept passes between the opposing Chasers. In other words, when a Beater posts “block,” their chasers get the Quaffle. They have the Quaffle until the other team’s Beater post “block” and then that team has the Quaffle.
- It is the Seeker’s job to look for the Snitch, which will look like this:
The Snitch can be anywhere inside the Quidditch area at any time. It could be in the stands or on ANY of the pages of the game (I will be modifying someone’s post to add it). The Snitch will only be up for a few hours at a time. After that, it will either disappear or move.
When the Seeker finds the location of the snitch, there are a couple things they must do:
1. Post “chasing snitch” in the thread.
2. Click on the snitch icon, which will bring them to a hidden forum area. There will be a thread with a password. PM that password to me, and I will give them a trivia question. Get the trivia question right (and first), and that Seeker has caught the snitch.
If the Seeker (or both Seekers if they are both on the chase) miss the trivia, then the game continues, and they search again.
Notes:
-The Seeker CAN post “chasing snitch” when they have NOT spotted the snitch. Yes, this means sending the other seeker on a possible long chase. I do ask that this move isn’t overdone.
-The trivia Question can be non-HP related, anything under the Sun.
Extra:
- Players should all own a broom and Quidditch robes.
DEMO GAME:
Let's say we have an orange and a purple team. Words in orange are posts made by the orange team, and words in purple are words made by the purple team. Referee's posts are in pink.
Referee releases the Quaffle, two hours later...
Catch
Referee announces that the Quaffle is in possession of the orange team, the play then start with either the original Chaser posting 'pass', or opposing Beater blocking.
Game continues and now looks like:
Catch
Orange team gets the Quaffle
Block

Pass
As we can see from the bold, five passes have been made. If an Orange Chaser comes next, he/she will post 'attempts a shot', in which the opposing Keeper has post 'block' before the next time the referee comes on. If the Keeper does block it, the referee will let the players know if the block was successful.
Game now looks like:

Orange team gets the Quaffle

The game continues even while the Seekers are chasing the Snitch. The Referee will stop the game once a Seeker has caught the snitch.
