Quidditch Rules:
Quidditch is a sports game that wizards and witches play on broomsticks. There are three hoops 50 feet above the ground on either end. There are 7 people on each team. 3 chasers, 2 beaters, 1 seeker, and 1 keeper. There are also 4 balls. 2 bludgers, 1 quaffle, and 1 snitch. The 3 chasers job is to carry the quaffle around, and try to throw it through the three hoops on the end that they need to score in. The keeper just trys to keep the ball from going through the hoops. The bludgers are black balls that zoom around, and try to knock people off their broom. The beaters, have two bats, like baseball bats, and try to hit the bludger away from their team. And then there's the seeker, the most important player in the game. He has to try to find the golden snitch, which is a very small golden ball with wings that move very fast. The first seeker to get the golden snitch, gets 150 points, and the game is not over until one seeker gets the golden snitch. That is my description of Quidditch.
