Welcome to The 2010 World Cup!


The first ever Quidditch World Cup was held in 1473 between Bulgaria and Romania. Flanders represented Bulgaria and representing Romania was Transylvania.

Many fouls accorded in this game, including a every well known player trying to be decapitated in the middle of the game & a hundred blood-hungry vampire bats onto the field, which where released by the Transylvania's Captain. Hopefully, no such occurrences will happen this time around.

It has been 537 years since the first Quidditch World and now, we are very lucky to have the Quidditch World Cup here at Hogwarts.

I look forward to seeing all of our Keepers, as well as the rest of our players, participate and play by the Rules, over the Summer. It will be very interesting to see who wins.

For those of you who don't already know me, I'm Tina. I will be the Referee for the Keepers.

Rules:


Playing Quidditch is very easy. You guys are going to be wonderful. However, I must enforce some rules and regulations:



  • If you're not a Keeper, you can still post here. However, I encourage you to do most of your chatting in the Stands


  • Never ever post a Trivia answer in this thread (or anywhere else). Answers should always be PMed to me


  • When sending trivia answers to me, please make sure the subject has your Team's Name AND the Series Number. The Series Number will be posted in the Current Question section of this thread.


  • Keepers are only allowed to send me ONE PM per Series. Multiple PMs (in a series) will cost your team points, even if the answers are correct!


  • If you have a question about how this game will work or anything else, ASK IT. I prefer you to post your questions here, but if you want to PM me...go ahead.


  • Take the time out and sign some autographs with your fans. The Stands is the event's main hangout thread. Participation is key to win the House Cup!


  • Also, I must ask you to not you the internet to find these answers. There may be a round where I say it's okay but, for now, no help from Sights like Lexicon.


  • You should all be posting in your House Color, NOT your Team's color.

How To Play:


Playing Quidditch is very easy for you as Keepers.
All you have to do to protect your teams goals is to answer correctly to Trivia Questions.
I will post a series of question in the Current Questions post each week.
Each Keeper will get to send ONE PM to me each week with the answers to the questions.
The questions will be Harry Potter related. They're not going to be your average Dueling Club questions either!
Every correct answer means you have prevented a goal. As a result, the other team will lose 10 points from their score, if you get an answer wrong, you won't be penalized!

Current Questions:


Stay Tuned in The Stands to see who won the Match.


You will have until Sunday to send these answers to me! Do NOT use the internet/books/movies to answer these questions. It's okay to guess because I don't expect you to get all of the questions right! This will be the Last Series of Questions.
