WHAT: The Weasley boys invite everyone over for a little game of Quidditch
WARNINGS: N/A
STATUS: IC/OOC
GAME INFOThe Weasley boys invited anyone that was interested to come join them for a pickup game (or two!) of Quidditch in the clearing behind the Burrow, where a makeshift Quidditch Pitch and stands had been erected. They provided brooms that were enchanted to work for non-magical folks as well as regular brooms for those that had the ability to fly on them. The first game was scheduled to begin at noon, but I'm sure that ran several minutes late. People who wanted a rundown of the rules or flying lessons were encouraged to come early so that someone familiar with them could assist them, whether it be a Weasley or someone else from the Wizarding World. Spectators were also welcomed, you did not need to be there just to play! Quidditch is played up on broomsticks up in the air. There are three goal posts at either ends of a field. That field is called a Quidditch Pitch. There are seven players on each side: the Keeper, the Seeker, three Chasers and two Beaters. One player is also appointed as the Captain. Protective helmets and padding were provided for anyone that wanted them. Minors playing had to wear them to play. Quidditch has three types of balls: a Quaffle, two Bludgers and the Golden Snitch. The ball that scores the points is the Quaffle and Chasers handle them. At either end of the Quidditch Pitch are three hoops through which the Quaffle can be scored. Each goal scored is worth ten points. The Quaffle is 12 inches in diameter and is made of leather bindings. The Bludger is probably the most dangerous ball of all of them. It flies through the air being hit by players called Beaters. Serious injuries have been caused by Bludgers hitting people and causing them to fall off their brooms. The third and most important type of ball is the Golden Snitch. The Golden Snitch is a tiny ball that has wings and is enchanted. If either Seeker catches the Golden Snitch, his or her team earns 150 points and usually wins the match. Sirius Black and Emmeline Vance kept score from the stands. There was also food, snack, and drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic!) breaks through the afternoon! |
