THE APPLICATION !

rules

• as with the quidditch game, you will be given a prompt to write a roleplay response to
• in an actual game, you will recieve points for cooperation, originality, grammar and style

THE PROMPT !

keepers - choose one
• Three chasers are positioned before you--one directly aligned with each of your teams hoops. They hold two Quaffles and toss them back and forth, constantly changing the balls' positions to confuse you. Then, suddenly, they all three dash forward, still rotating the balls, and shoot . . .
• Demonstrate the proper execution of a Double Eight Loop.

seekers - choose one
• Demonstrate your best maneuver to evade an oncoming bludger. (See Sloth Grip Roll.)
• Demonstrate the proper execution of a Wronski Defensive Feint.

chasers - choose one
• Demonstrate the proper execution used to catch a reverse pass.
• The opposing chasers fly at you in a Parkin's Pincer. Demonstrate a legal evasive maneuver.

beaters - choose one
• Demonstrate the proper execution of a Dopplebeater Defense.
• Demonstrate the proper execution of a Bludger Backbeat--or try to, at least. While the move is very difficult, any success at all is extremely impressive.
