THE RULES OF THE NOBLE AND MOST ANCIENT SPORT OF QUIDDITCH

There are seven players on each team: three "chasers, " two "beaters, " one "keeper" and one "seeker. " There is also a "snitch runner, " who is neutral.

>The chasers move the "quaffle" (volleyball) down the field by running or passing it to each other. They score by throwing or kicking the quaffle through the opposing team's goal hoops. Each score is worth 10 points.

>The beaters throw "bludgers" (dodgeballs) at the opposing team's players to temporarily knock them out of play.

>The keeper defends their team's hoops and prevents the other team from scoring.

>The snitch runner wears the "snitch" (a tennis ball in a sock) tucked into the back of their shorts. Their job is to avoid being caught by the seekers.

>The seekers hunt the snitch runner and try to remove the snitch from them. When a seeker catches the snitch, their team receives an extra 30 points and the game ends.

>The team with the most points wins.
