actually looks really fun, and yea I think if your going to use broomsticks, have the beaters use them to hit the bludgers at people. Otherwise it's fine to not have them, this looks awesome.
This reminds me when my school tried this for a festival fun and we had broomsticks. It was beond awesome. Slytherin 1, Ravenclaw, 0, Griffendor 2, Hufflepuff 3.
The ONLY point of this game is not to get a beating, stay under a difference of 140 or less and be the first to get the snitch. You're winning by 140 points, the opposite team gets the snitch, you lose; you're losing by 160 points, you get the snitch, you lose. What's the point of scoring goals? Substitute the broom for a basket-stick and u'll be playing lacrosse with rings for goals. This is just field handball with the adition of the frozen rule when touch by the other ball and rings as goal.
@SpiderWick12 That the ONLY point of scoring goals is not getting a beating so you can get the snitch. Imagine in a real football (world football, not USA football) match a team winning 10 - 0 and after 2 hours of match owning you oponent the opposite team wins because he catches a rabbit running in the field which gives you 15 goals if you catch it. What would be the point in having scored those goals then?
@SpiderWick12 If there was a time limit, for example 2 hours, and 4 snitches which give you 50 points each (instead of 150 and the only thing that triggers the end the game) then it would be an interesting variant of magic handball; otherwise it is just an excuse so that a weedy Potter could play this thing.
Look at 0:58 -- the double pass pick completed by 77 on the grey team -- the guy is clearly running with the quaffle. Was this just a foul not called, or... ?

It probably is. He gets two steps since he's running when he got the ball and it looks like he did get a third or fourth stutter-step in there in the act of stopping before throwing it to someone else. Of course, it's also a consequence of having a newbie ref who's still learning it all himself (i.e. me).
Pretty much was an uncalled foul, but yeah, you get a step or two to stop, and it was the first game of the season, and we had a new ref, and some new players.
Ahh. I think a great rule would be to allow running chasers provided they do not advance the ball beyond the point they originally received a pass from. For example, if a chaser received an inlet pass from his keeper at the half-pitch line, he would be allowed to run anywhere he chose... behind the half-pitch line. This would not be reset by a forward pass that was caught behind the half-pitch line; you can only gain "territory" through passes.
it's not Quidditch without brooms.

@Sollett If you were winning by 150 points or more, the least you can get is a tie. What do you mean there is no point of scoring goals?

@Sollett well as a boxer you can win the first 7 round by points, but get knocked out and loose in the 8th round

i think beaters should use jai alai equipment. that would be more like it and maybe a remote control helicopter for the snitch?

The IQA never bothered to consult us. We're in out 4th year of play and the league is expanding. I think we're doing just fine.

Running chasers? New rule, yeah? I like that; been arguing for that for convention tournaments for yeaaaars...
ProfGlitch 3 years ago
Our chasers can't run if they're holding the quaffle. Think something along the lines of ultimate frisbee.
