Positions in Muggle Quidditch

• Chasers are responsible for passing the Quaffle and scoring points by throwing the Quaffle through one of the opponent's goals. Three chasers from a team may be in play at one time. When a Bludger hits a Chaser in possession of the Quaffle, he or she must drop the Quaffle and run back to his or her own goalpost to simulate recovery time.
• Keepers are the goal protectors (similar to goalkeepers in soccer) and must try to block attempts to score by the opposing team's Chasers. One keeper from a team may be in play at a time. The keeper is invulnerable to Bludgers when within their team's keeper zone, an area around the team's hoops. Once outside of the Keeper zone, the Keeper serves as a 4th Chaser.
• Beaters attempt to hit the opposing team's players with Bludgers and attempt to block the Bludgers from hitting their team's players. Two Beaters on a team may be in play at a time.
• Seekers attempt to catch the snitch. Though the snitch leaves the pitch at the start of the game and often does not return until a predetermined period has passed, seekers are able to search for the snitch off the pitch throughout the game.
