Quidditch & Quodpot

==Quidditch==

Either played in Wizard schools like Hogwarts or in a stadium, Quidditch is well known and played around the world. The Ministery Of Magic created a rule in the 1400s that it must be played atleast 100 miles away from a muggle town or city. The teams of 7 players(2 Beaters, 1 Seeker, 1 Keeper and several Chasers) must either catch the Snitch(100 points) or mark points by throwing or batting the Quaffle into one of  the rival goals to earn 1 point while dodging the Bludger.

Bludger Backbeat
A move by which the Beater hits the Bludger with a backhanded club swing, sending it behind him or her.

Dopplebeater Defence
Both Beaters hit the Bludger at the same time for extra power, resulting in a Bludger attack of greater severity.

Double Eight Loop
A Keeper defence, usually employed against penalty takers. The Keeper swerves around all 3 goal hoops at high speed to block the Quaffle.

Hawkshead Attacking Formation
Chasers form an arrowhead pattern and fly together towards the goalposts. Highly intimidating to opposig teams and effective in forcing other players aside.

Parkin's Pincer
So named for the original members of the Wigtown Wanderers, who are reputed to have invented this move. 2 Chasers close in on an opposing Chaser on either side, while the third flies headlong towards him/her.

Plumpton Pass
A seemingly carelessswerve that scoops up the snitch in the Seeker's sleeve. Named after Roderick Plumpton from the Tutshill Tornadoes.

Porskoff Ploy
The Chaser carrying the Quaffle flies upwards, leading opposing chasers that he/she is trying to escape them to score, but then throws the Quaffle downwards to a fellow chaser waiting to catch it. Named after Chaser Petrova Porskoff.

Wronski Feint
The seeker hurtles towards the ground pretending to see the Snitch far below, but pulls vout of the ive just before hitting the pitch. Intended to make the opposing Seeker copy and crash. Named after the Seeker Josef Wronski.

Quodpot
A game founded in the U.S.A by Abraham Peasegood, Quodpot is a game which includes an exploding quaffle and a pot. In the game, each team(7 players each), have to pass the quaffle to each other before the quaffle(Which Peasegood renamed the Quod) explodes. When the last player gets the Quod, he/she must throw it into the pot which has a potion which destroys it and the team earns a point and a new Quod is brought onto the field.
