Rules of Quidditch

Balls

Three different types of ball are used in the game "Quidditch."  As there are two BLUDGERS, there are four balls in all.

Quaffle:     Large and red, about the size of a Soccer ball, used to score goals. (Worth Ten Points)

Bludger:      Two in a game, black. Slightly smaller than a Quaffle, fly around trying to knock players off brooms.

Snitch:          Most important Ball in the game. Tiny, the size of a golf ball with wings, very fast and hard to catch.

Players

There are seven players on each team.  Two teams play against each other in every match

Chaser:    Throw the Quaffle to each other trying to score goals. Three on each team.

Keeper:    Kind of like a Soccer goalie. Guards the goal posts. Only one plays at a time.

Beater:    Uses a baseball bat type think to knock the bludgers at the other team. Two play.

Seeker:      Flys around trying to catch the golden Snitch. One plays at a time.

- No Time limit.

- Catching the Snitch is 150 points.

The game is over once the Snitch is caught.
