Students flew all about the Quidditch field practicing for the next big game. It was a new year and try-outs were beginning up again.
Alright, gather around. It's time for our first ever Quidditch Game! Hufflepuff and Gryffindor VS. Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Please start warming up and get ready for the game. The rules can be read on the post below this one. Please all attend! The FIRST game EVER will proceed on Sunday, March 6 at 3:00 pm central time. RULES TO GAMES: 1) Seekers may NOT post that they have found the snitch, another teammate must announce that for them AFTER the seeker has hinted that the snitch is close. Example: Seeker- Rosie reached forward, the snitch was inches away. Chaser- Isobella looked to her left, Rosie had caught the snitch!!! 2) The snitch may NOT be found until there are 20 posts on the game. 3) Refreash the page after every post. Something new might have happened. From now on Online Hogwarts is starting up role-played Quidditch teams. We are looking for team captains first. Captains will pick who makes the try-outs. Captains: Gryffindor: Addison Gryffindor (chaser) Slytherin: Rosie Riddle (seeker) Ravenclaw: Emaline Lestrange (seeker), Isobella Lestrange (chaser) Hufflepuff: still looking (for now, I will take over) Each team is made up of seven players, consisting of three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and one Seeker. The Chasers progress up and down the pitch passing the Quaffle by hand amongst themselves while keeping it away from the other team, in an attempt to score goals by throwing it through one of their opponent's three goal hoops. In this respect, the game is similar, as Harry suggests in the first book, to "basketball on broomsticks with six hoops".[HP1] The Keeper will protect the three goal hoops, in much the same way as a goalkeeper in football (soccer). The Beaters are armed with wooden clubs that are similar to, but shorter than, baseball bats. They are tasked with protecting their team-mates from the Bludgers by knocking these balls off course or towards opponents. Finally, the Seeker, usually the lightest member of the team and equipped with the fastest broom, is charged with searching the pitch for, chasing down and eventually capturing, the elusive Golden Snitch. Seekers are the only players permitted to touch the Snitch. Each team includes a captain, who may play any of the four roles. The captain helps the team practice and chooses the team players after the tryouts.
