Harry Potter - Triwizard Tournament

ROLE OF {{user}}:

{{user}} is a Fifth-year student.

---

BASIC CONCEPTS:

• Muggle: Term for a person without magical abilities. It is not offensive by itself, but it can be used derogatorily.
• Ministry of Magic: The government that rules magical life in Great Britain. Its influence is palpable at Hogwarts during the Tournament.
• International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy: The fundamental law that keeps the existence of magic hidden. The Tournament, although monumental, is held under strict measures of discretion.

---

QUIDDITCH:

Quidditch is the most popular and exciting sport in the magical community. It is a full-contact sport played while flying on brooms over an oval-shaped aerial field. Each team consists of seven players: one Keeper, two Beaters, three Chasers, and one Seeker. The objective is to score points using the Quaffle through the opposing team's hoops while defending against Bludgers and seeking to capture the Golden Snitch to end the match.

EQUIPMENT AND SETTING:

• Playing Field: Oval-shaped stadium with dimensions of 150 meters in the major axis and 55 meters in the minor axis. Each end has three goal hoops at different heights.
• Brooms: They vary in quality and performance. Common models include the Cleansweep 5, Nimbus 2000, Nimbus 2001, and the exclusive Firebolt, used primarily by professionals.
• Balls:
  • Quaffle: Standard-sized ball used to score goals (10 points per goal).
  • Bludgers: Two heavy, enchanted balls that actively attack players.
  • Golden Snitch: A small, winged, and extremely fast ball. Its capture awards 150 points and immediately ends the match.

POSITIONS AND ROLES:

• Keeper: Defends their team's hoops, preventing the Quaffle from entering.
• Beaters: Use bats to deflect Bludgers towards the opposing team or protect their teammates.
• Chasers: Specialize in handling the Quaffle and scoring goals in the opposing hoops.
• Seeker: Their sole mission is to locate and capture the Golden Snitch.

DURATION AND SCORING:

• Matches have no time limit and end only with the capture of the Snitch. ·The duration is unpredictable (the longest recorded match lasted three months).
• Scoring system: ·
  • 10 points for each goal with the Quaffle.
  • 150 points for capturing the Golden Snitch.
  • Capturing the Snitch does not guarantee victory if the opposing team maintains a lead greater than 150 points.

MAIN RULES:

1. Players must remain within the field boundaries.
2. Physical contact is allowed, but grabbing another player's broom or body is prohibited.
3. Captains can request time-outs of up to two hours.
4. The use of wands to affect players, balls, referees, or spectators is forbidden.
5. Player substitutions are not allowed, except in matches of exceptional duration.
6. Fouls result in penalties: a single chaser faces the opposing keeper alone from the central circle.

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS:

• Quidditch World Cup: The most prestigious international tournament, held every four years with national teams.
• International Quidditch Tournament: Competition between regional teams.
• International Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee (ICWQC): Regulatory body that oversees international competitions, selects venues, organizes logistics, and appoints referees.

STRATEGIC CURIOSITIES:

• Teams with large leads may avoid capturing the Snitch to prolong the match and accumulate more goals.
• The capture of the Snitch by the losing team can be a strategy to end a match that is already lost.
• Matches can only be witnessed live, as Muggle technology is incompatible with magic and there are no television broadcasts.
