About Quodpot

[The Narrator]

While Quidditch is slowly gaining popularity in the Americas, Quodpot is the sport of choice, especially in the United States. This thread is brush everyone up on the basics, and give you information on our fleshed out version.

Objective - The objective of Quodpot is to get the Quod - or modified Quaffle - into the other team's cauldron - or pot - before it explodes. The pot contains a solution that will stop the cauldron from exploding. Each player can only handle the Quod for ten seconds at a time or the it will explode. The team must get the Quod into the pot in two minutes or it will explode.

Once the Quod is in the pot, the scorer's team will get one point, a new Quod comes into play. Each game as two twenty minute periods, with a five minute break in between. The game goes until either all time has run out or there is no one left standing for the opposing team. If, at the end of both periods, the score is tied, the game will go into overtime.

The pot is suspended fourty feet in the air, and the pitch has a magical barrier around it to stop the crowd from being hurt.
