It is Our hope to bring you a fully functional Quidditch Game. Please follow through with these rules and if you have any questions please seek out Headmistress Zeda. Other than that, welcome to quidditch I hope that you Enjoy playing our wonderful game. Games will be scheduled for the evening hours on either Saturday or Sunday. Please do not sign up for the Quidditch team if you know you will not be able to make any of the games. The games will be held in the chatroom at the bottom of the site.
Basic Rules
How it Works
First of all please note that doing a quidditch thing on here is difficult because of the roleplaying posts like:
* i make a goal*
* i block the goal*
*i send a bludger to hit that person*
Posts like this can make the game unfair and take away the element of fun for other players. We have designed this system to ensure that everyone plays fairly and can enjoy the game.
SEEKERS
During the course of the game, Headmistress Zeda will post randomly "SNITCH". In order to catch the snitch, you MUST be the the very next person to post something. If you are not, then you did not catch the snitch. The proper post is: Attempts to catch the Snitch.
Examples:
Example 1
Zeda: SNITCH
Seeker: Attempts to catch the Snitch.
(In this example, the seeker has successfully caught the snitch and the game has ended.)
Example 2
Zeda: SNITCH
Gryffindor Chaser 1: Throws Quaffle
Seeker: Attempts to catch the Snitch.
(In this example, the seeker has failed to catch the snitch, and the game continues.)
CHASERS
when you are passing the quaffle to another chaser on your team... your post must include this:
*(your name) attempts to pass the quaffle to (team mates name) *
Your team mate then has 3 posts to respong *catchs quaffle*
an opposing chaser CAN intercept the quaffle but they must do it WITHIN 3 posts.
The 3 post rule works like this... you make a post to pass the quaffle.... the next three posts on the board (not just by you but from anyone other than the ref) are those three posts. If you have to post within 3 posts to catch or intercept the quaffle you must do it before three posts are there.
IF you are a chaser and trying to make a goal your post must include this:
*(your name) attempts to make a goal with the quaffle into (team name's) goal post.
again the keeper has 3 posts to post that they block the quaffle, if they do not post within 3 posts (no exceptions) the the shot was a success.
YOU CAN NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE A GOAL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE QUAFFLE
Example of a successful shot:
Chaser: Attempts to make a goal with the quaffle into GRYFFINDOR's Goal Post.
Beater: hits Bludger
Seeker: attempts to catch snitch:
Beater 2: HIts bludger
Keeper: Blocks Quaffle
Example of a failed shot:
Chaser: Attempts to make a goal with the quaffle into GRYFFINDOR's Goal post.
Beater: Hits bludger
Chaser 2: Watches Quaffle
Keeper: Blocks Quaffle.
KEEPERS
When a Chaser attempts to make a goal into one of your goal posts, they will post something like this: "Zeda attempts to make a goal with the quaffle into GRYFFINDOR's goal post.
You then have 3 posts to block the quaffle by posting "Blocks Quaffle"
Example of a successful Block:
Chaser: Attempts to make a goal with the quaffle into GRYFFINDOR's Goal post.
Beater: Hits bludger
Chaser 2: Watches Quaffle
Keeper: Blocks Quaffle.
Example of a failed block:
Chaser: Attempts to make a goal with the quaffle into GRYFFINDOR's Goal Post.
Beater: hits Bludger
Seeker: attempts to catch snitch:
Beater 2: HIts bludger
Keeper: Blocks Quaffle
BEATERS
The Referee will put the Bludgers into play by posting the word BLUDGER. Once that post has been made, you can hit the bludger until it hits someone.
your post must inlude this...
*(your name) hits bludger AIMING at (persons name)
the next person to post right afer YOUR (not the referee's) bludger post GETS HIT WITH THE BLUDGER
THERE IS NO INTERCEPTION (blocking) A BLUDGER if you are not a beater.
Every bludger will hit someone. Another Beater may Hit the same bludger if they are the next person to post after your post.
Example of a bludger hitting someone:
Referee: BLUDGER
Beater: Zeda hits bludger aiming at George
Keeper: Blocks Goal.
Example of a bludger being hit by another Beater:
Referee: BLUDGER
Beater: Zeda hits Bludger aiming at George
Beater 2: Frank hits Bludger aiming at Susie
Please note: You do not have to be the next immediate post from the referee's post in order to hit the bludger.
EXAMPLE GAME
EXAMPLE GAME (not very detailed but you will get the idea. I am going to use gryffindr (gryff) and slytherin (slyth) for the teams here)
*ref- game has started. Grff has the quaffle
*grff chaser with quaffle- attempts to make goal in slyth goal posts
*griff chaser 2 - flys with chaser with quaffle to attempt to protect from slyth team
*slyth keeper- blocks the goal from griff chaser with quaffle
(notice here the keeper was within the three post limit so the shot is blocked.)
*slyth chaser now with quaffle- takes quaffle flying to gryff posts to attempt to make a shot
*ref- BLUDGER
*griff beater- hits bludger attempting to hit slyth chaser with quaffle
*slyth chaser without quaffle- follows quaffle (This person is hit with the Bludger)
*griff chaser- flys after the slyth chaser with the quaffle
Ref- Goal is made 10 points to slytherin
(notice that the griffindor keeper did not post that he blocked the shot within three posts of the attempted shot post so the shot is automatically made)
the game would resume this way until one or the other seeker posts their quoted post with the snitch at which time the ref would call came and the score will be added and posted on the quidditch scores board.
How to apply to the Quidditch Team
If you are interested in applying to your house's Quidditch team, please send a message to Headmistress Zeda and to your Head of House. Note, all members are sorted into one of the four houses, so all members are eligible to play Quidditch, even if they are not a student character.
Basic Rules
- If some one is injured, the game is paused to take them off the feild. You are injured if you are hit with the bludger 3 times.
- Do not argue with the referee's decision IT IS FINAL. Headmistress will not step in unless she feels the ref is playing favorites.
- if you are hit with the bludger 3 times in the same game you are considered injured and you are now out of the game and must post that you are out of the game and removed from the field.
- each team must have a complete set of backup players to take the spot of whoever was removed from the game.
- Each chaser and beater must be numbered on both the main team and the backup team so if chaser one is out from the main team then chaser one from the backup team then comes onto the field and takes their place.
- IF A CHASER that has the quaffle is injured and is out the opposing team then gets the quaffle. the back up chaser for the team that fills in for the injured member does not enter the game with the quaffle
