To ensure this the sole purpose of the seeker is to look for the Snitch. Since the Quidditch pitch is so big and the players are not limited as to how high they can fly, this task is much harder than other tasks in the game.
Following this up, no other players are allowed to touch the Snitch at all. If such a thing happens, the referee will call the foul known as Snitchnip. Once the foul is called the team which committed the foul will have to forfeit the match.
Because of this, the common tactic in Quidditch is other players using different signals to point the seeker in the direction they saw the Snitch fly to rather than catching it themselves. During the match, the Snitch flew up the sleeve of a Haitian Beater, Instead of shaking it out, the Beater took the Snitch out by hand forcing the Haitian team to be disqualified.
Following up with the rules centered on catching the Snitch we talked about previously if a chaser caught the Snitch, his team would be forced to forfeit the match and the team would be disqualified if the match was a part of a tournament. However, this is unlikely to happen as all three of the chasers are quite busy during the match. Since Quidditch matches are extremely dynamic and quick-paced, the chasers are constantly busy and least likely to be able to focus on anything else than the task they already have on their hands.

Can you catch the Snitch and still lose? What happens if a player other than the seeker catches the Snitch? What happens if a chaser catches the snitch? About The Author. Want to share your content on R-bloggers? Given these rules and game objectives, in order to estimate the probability of winning a match we must first estimate 1 how long does it take a seeker to catch the Snitch on average, which determines how long a game lasts and thus how much time is allotted for the teams to score goals, and 2 what is the rate of goal scoring.
Unfortunately, not many pro-Quidditch matches are described in the books, so this is quite hard to estimate. On the one hand, the only game that is described in its entirety is the Quidditch World Cup final, and it was extremely short: only 15 minutes or so [ 4 ]; On the other hand, the longest game ever lasted 6 months [ 5 ]. So the average is somewhere between 15 minutes, and , minutes. For the sake of our simulations, then, I will assume the average game lasts 90 minutes assuming Rowling has soccer or rugby in mind.
Going by the 15 minute world cup, in which the final score was , or if only counting goal points, we can see that there were 18 goals in 15 minutes, or an average of 9 goals per 15 minutes per team, or a GPM of 0. It's preposterous to continue playing for ever so I'll bet that just what they'll do!!! Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
