- This season, UT won 24 games and lost 3. UT has gotten very close to first place through several tournaments and may be playing the number one team in America at World Cup (kind of like playoffs) very soon. Last year, The Lone Star Club won first place in the World Cup. Three very important rules are 1) whoever catches the snitch wins the game, 2) There should be no interferences from the crowd, and 3) All players should stick to their specific role in the game (like seeker, keeper, etc.). What do these terms/roles mean? The most important player is the seeker- the one who is trying to catch the snitch. The snitch is a very small, golden ball but, apart from the story, it will sometimes be played as an actual person. Whoever catches the snitch wins the game for their team and it's a very difficult task. A third term involves the keeper- the teammate who guards the three rings so the opposing side can't score. They are similar to goalies in soccer.
- Of course, there are always clichés to speeds and this one is being a nerd. Yes, this sport was formed from a fantasy novel but it doesn't mean every players is a fan of Harry Potter or is geeky about the fandom.
- Because Quidditch teams are more like a club around the nation, there aren't any specific players that shine out the rest. I researched and could not find full names of any players on the teams or their information.
