New Quidditch Rules & Information

Please read the following carefully, as these new rules will be implemented from now on in Quidditch matches.

New Keeper Rule
Chasers can no longer state straight away that the Quaffle has entered the goal hoops. A chaser may post to say they throw the Quaffle towards the goals, however this must then be followed by a post by the Keeper who will say if the goal is saved or if it goes through the hoops.

If the Keeper doesn't reply within three posts, then the Chaser may post again to say if a goal was scored or not.

This new rule is being implemented to give the Keeper an incentive to stay active through the game and the term, and to have a more active role in the games.

Commentators
As an incentive for commentators to post, they will now be judged on their commentating skills throughout the game.

However, commentators should make no more than five posts per game day. The commentators will be awarded up to 50 points for their participation in each game.

Team No-Shows
As was proven last term, there are instances when an entire Quidditch team fails to turn up for the match. In these cases, the following procedure will now be followed:
