Southeast student council members hosted the first annual Quidditch World cup on Monday, May 11 at 6:00 p.m. 23 teams signed up to play in this magical event. The tournament began to wind down at 8:25 p.m. with Chicken and Quaffels as the champions of the tournament.
The game of Quidditch originally comes from the books written by J.K. Rowling about a boy named Harry Potter. The game is traditionally played on flying brooms with balls that fly through the air. The object of the game is for the chasers (offensive players) to throw the quaffel (a ball) into the goal. The keeper tries to protect the goal. The beaters (defensive players) try to stop the chasers by throwing balls at them. All the while the seeker (another player) tries to catch the snitch (a person in our version of the game). When the snitch is caught the game is over.
