Quodpot

Quodpot is to American Football as Quidditch is to Soccer. It's similar enough except that the players ride brooms and the ball might explode at any moment.

Each team consists of 11 players. Each player plays a defensive position and a corresponding offensive position (based on body type and skill set required for both). This wiki was insidiously helpful in figuring out which position to play.

During the game each team attempts to pass the quod and sink it into the pot at the opposite end of the pitch before the quod explodes. If a player is holding the quod when it explodes the clock is stopped and a new quod is brought to the field and placed on the line where the old quod exploded. Points are awarded each time the quod is placed in the pot (a cauldron filled with a potion which stops the quod from exploding).

Like football, the game consists of four quarters. Both teams play offense and defense in the course of the game, a coin is tossed at the beginning of each gam to see which will play offense first. If the team playing offense cannot score within 10 attempts the teams switch; offense plays defense/defense plays offense so they have a chance to score.

Players wear uniforms similar to Quidditch (minus the robes, they impede movement) and beefed up padding.

The team captain more often than not is the Centerguard/Middle Linebacker, as both positions are well poised to make calls on the field of play.

Many, mucho thanks to my brother who sat with me and explained two-way football positions for what I assured him was utter nonsense

Quidditch
Quidditch is much more popular in Europe, but most schools in North America keep a team. It follows the same rules as in the HP universe. Quidditch wiki!

The two Dresden teams play each other for practice. The teams meet biweekly on opposite days to practice on the Quidditch pitch. They hold games every other week on Saturday afternoons. When they can arrange a game with another school they travel on the weekend or host that school's team for the afternoon.

Some other schools have a "play team" and a "reserve team" so that both teams get to play. Dresden is more egalitarian and switches off which team plays the lead or which team travels when a school only has one quidditch team.

The uniform consists of padding and colored team robes (Team A is usually in black, Team B in orange). Students can use school brooms or supply their own.
