Quidditch Rules
((This is a new idea for the site, any changes will be made in red, any questions please ask Ari Potter in her office titled: Quidditch Questions))
The name of the game is Quidditch and if you're a spunky character with blood on the brain and a thirst for some fast paced action then you're in the right mind to sign up for this rough and tough game.
Everyone knows the rules of Quidditch, it's a very popular wizarding game. Some of you Muggle Borns though may tilt your head to one side and go "huh?" but rest assured my dear uninformed witch or wizard by the time I'm done explaining these rules of the fast paced game which has stolen the hearts, minds, livers and sometimes spleens of all wizards and witches alike you too will be salivating at the mouth to get a chance to jump on a broomstick and engage yourself in a hearty game of Quidditch.
The game of Quidditch is played in the air (yes, air) on broomsticks (yes, broomsticks). Seven players equip each team making the full line-up on the field, fourteen players.
Rules for playing Role Played Quidditch
How The Game Is Played
1. Schedule
Each game has a set date and time when they are to be played. If a team member can not make the date they are to find a replacement, or someone will fill their spot w/o them finding a replacement player.
2. Posting
To ensure fairness and a good game, each person will post in turn. The Captains submit the "Line-Up", at most, a week before the date of the game. If no line-up is submitted, then the Referee will choose the line-up. All games will start on-time NO MATTER WHAT.
The Referee starts the game off followed by the student commentator and then the adult commentator and the game commences.
3. Gameplay
The name of the game here is No Power Playing, and No God Modding.
Power Playing: The act of making someone do something or having something happen to another player without their consent.
God Modding: Allowing your character to know something that they did not learn on their own but through you.
Players will want bludgers to hit other players and make goals on the other teams goal. This is where your practicing comes into play.
4. How Practicing Can Get Your Team Better Scores
Each team has a rate at which the quaffle will go past the other team's keeper and that a bludger will hit them, and the chances of finding the snitch.
The better your role playing is the better your chances are for getting a goal, blocking your goals, getting missed by the bludger, hitting the other team with a bludger, and finding the snitch.

Your team's level will be listed in the Quidditch Pitch and in your personal practice field. The Quidditch Referee will determine what "Level" your team is at by observing your game play and your role playing skills. Clearly by this list it will take your team quite a while (a whole quidditch season) to make it to the higher levels but that's what practicing is all about and we just can't GIVE you the points or the hits and misses, you have to earn them and work for them together as a team.
Teams
Signing Up
Captains are assigned by who wants the position, and approved by the Head of House. Other positions are first come, first serve.
Captain
Each team needs to have a captain, in the absence of a captain the Head of House will step in or a chosen under-study.
Duties of the Captain
1. Schedule Team Practices
- The practices are a time when everyone gets together and rehearses how a live match of quidditch would take place. Each person takes their turn posting, honing their skills or making longer and more de*****ive posts. During this time the quidditch referee will monitor your rehearsals (which are to be held on your house boards so that other teams won't snoop). These rehearsals determine the rate at which the other team can score on you, your best rate is 1 out of 5. For every 5 attempts on scoring from the other team the quaffle will only go in 1 out of every time. Everyone starts at 5 out of 5.
2. Submit the "Line-Up" before the game takes place
3. Makes sure the Quidditch Referee has observed their practices and that they have their team's level before the game starts.
Team Members
Team members apply by signing up for the empty slot on the team roster. If both the main team and the reserve teams are full, then try-outs will be held to determine the teams new line-up.
No team member is to assign themself the role of captain without permission or talking with the head of house.
No team member is to start a practice session with the full team or partial team without the Captain's knowledge or against their advisory.
Team members may practice on their own but it will not count towards the overall teams performance.
Not Enough Members In House To Have Full Team
This is when we open the roster to the adults on the site. The adult characters will play Student NPC charaters, or unregistered scree names. Miniature roles for the sake of quidditch.
If an adult decides that he/she likes their student character so much they'd like to have them as a regular character then that is permissable.
The NPC's are expected to be at the practices just as much as the regular characters are expected to be there.
Game Day
Everyone will meet in the site chatroom or AIM Chat Room 1 hour prior to the Quidditch Match. The purpose of this is so that everyone can say that they are busy writing, make friendly conversation and be able to easily discuss the game's progress.
If you are showing up late for the game and your character is apart of the team that is playing, you need to have a replacement player to take your spot. When you arrive back to play the game that person is to bow out and let you resume your spot on the team, however your entrance post onto the field is made when it it the person who took your spots turn to post, and they of course will make their post stating that they have left the field.
Each time someone enters the chat room the "Posting Order" is submitted so they know what the order is and if they are involved they then know when their turn in line is.
If a team member needs to get offline then a replacement will take their spot for them. If a team becomes short-handed the game will have to end and be resumed at a later date.
If a game of quidditch is still not completed by the time the next quidditch match is scheduled the next game will continue as planned and the latter game will continue until that game is played out.
When we get into tournament play some games will have to wait until we know who the winners are playing.
Game Season
The Quidditch Referee and the Activities Director will notify the Team Captains when the next games are to take place, and when the line ups are to be submitted by.
Each team will play a total of 3 games before the tournaments begin and eliminations take place.
A visual tournament graph will be posted once those games are to commence.
