3THE PLAYERS
There are seven players on each team:
Chasers - 3 players on each side
The Chasers are the offensive players. They are like forwards in other sports. Their job is catch and pass the red QUAFFLE ball and advance the Quaffle down the field and get the Quaffle through one of the three hoops on the opponent's end of the field.
10 points are awarded every time the Quaffle goes through one of the hoops.
CHASERS ARE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS.
THEY CARRY, PASS AND SHOOT THE QUAFFLE.
Beaters - 2 players on each side.
These are the defensive players. They carry bats that they use to knock away the
BLUDGERS.
The Bludgers are small heavy black balls that fly around in crazy patterns and try to knock the players off their brooms. The Beaters are responsible for batting away the Bludger balls to protect their team.
The Beaters and the Bludgers are ALWAYS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. You never control them!
BEATERS ARE ALWAYS CONTROLLED BY THE
COMPUTER. THEY CARRY BATS AND TRY AND
KNOCK AWAY THE BLUDGERS.
THESE LITTLE BLACK BALLS ARE ALSO ALWAYS
CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. THE BLUDGER
BALLS TRY AND KNOCK PLAYERS OFF THEIR
BROOMS!
WATCH OUT!
KeepEr - 1 player on each side.
This is like a goalie. The Keeper flies around between the hoops and stops the other team's Chasers from scoring.
THE KEEPER IS YOUR GOALIE. MOVE YOUR KEEPER
TO KEEP THE QUAFFLE OUT OF YOUR OWN HOOPS!
Seeker - 1 player on each side.
The Seeker is a very important position. This player is responsible for flying high and keeping an eye out for the GOLDEN SNITCH. The Golden Snitch is a very small golden ball with wings that flies very fast. The Seeker has to try to spot and then catch the Golden Snitch.
The Seeker will not appear on screen until the Golden Snitch appears. When a player catches the Golden Snitch, his team scores 150 points and the game ends!
WHEN THE SEEKER CATCHES THE GOLDEN SNITCH,
HIS TEAM WINS THE GAME!
