Written by Jacob Black. Improved by Henry Shanks.

An Example

1. Game Start

When the quaffle is released, the Referee asks a question(easy).
First chaser to answer the question correctly catches the quaffle.
Counts as one move.

2. Passing

When a chaser has the quaffle, they have to pass it to one of their teammates in order to continue.
The chaser in posession of the quaffle must specify the target chaser.
The same pass can not be repeated within 4 hours
Counts as one move.

3. Intercepting

When a chaser passes the quaffle to another chaser in their team, any of the other chasers can attempt to intercept.
Intercepting is successful if the targeted chaser fails to catch the quaffle within 2 hours.
Intercepting resets the passes count.
Counts as one move.

4. Tackling & Short Passes

If a chaser has been in posession of the quaffle for more than 8 hours and has not passed it, an opposing chaser can tackle them and gain control of the quaffle.
Alternately, one of their teammates can snatch the quaffle and continue the game. Known as a short pass.
A short pass does not add to the passes count, but it does not reset it either.
Counts as one move.

5. Scoring

When the chasers in one team have managed three passes in a row, the chaser in posession of the quaffle may attempt to score.
The Referee asks a question(medium).
If the chaser is the first to answer correctly, they score (10 points).
On the contrary, the keeper defends the hoops.
Counts as one move.

6. Continuing the game

After a scoring attempt, the quaffle is in posession of the keeper.
The keeper must pass it to one of the chasers.
The pass can only be intercepted after 4 hours have passed.
Counts as one move.

7. Bludgers & Losing Posession

Once every 25 moves (a maximum of 4 times per match), a beater can hit a bludger towards the opposing chaser in posession of the quaffle.
A certain beater can only target a certain chaser a maximum of 2 times per match.
The targeted chaser can only dodge the quaffle once per match.
A beater can protect chasers from their own team within 2 hours since the bludger has been hit.
If a beater protects a chaser, they may save their dodge (if not already used).
Counts as one move.
When a chaser is hit by a bludger and loses posession of the quaffle, any of other chasers may retrieve the quaffle.
Also counts as one move.

8. The Snitch

At the 100th move, the Referee asks both seekers a series of questions(hard).
At this point, seeker substitutions are not allowed.
For the first 5 questions, seekers must answer (PM) within 8 hours. If one of the seekers does not answer within 4 hours, the opposing chaser catches the Golden Snitch.
If both chaser have been successful with the first 5 questions, they are asked one more question(extra hard). First seeker to answer it catches the Golden Snitch.
